Washington DC Travel Guides
Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens
Located on the banks of the Anacostia River, visit Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens for the waterlilies and lotus blossoms. Known also as a spot for birding, you may see great blue herons, marsh wrens, mallards, or Canada geese. For hikers, don't miss the .7 mile boardwalk trail that leads to the marsh. Rock Creek Park
Rock Creek Park is where locals have picnics and family gatherings. While Rock Creek is the park's most notable feature, also there are several wonderful hiking and biking trails. And you can go for a horse back ride during a guided horse tour. Of course, if you bring your own horse, remember to stay on the bridled trails! More Lenses about Washington DC

- Nice list! We went to D.C. last month on a trip and it would have been nice to have seen this beforehand. It's such a beautiful city that I'm sure we'll return!
