Theodore Roosevelt Island, Washington, DC


















Theodore Roosevelt Island, Washington, DC

Theodore Roosevelt Island is an 88-acre island located in the Potomac River of Washington, DC. Before I visited this place, I did not know Ted Roosevelt is a person responsible for all the National Parks in the US that all of us enjoy so much! 

There are trails around the island that mostly were covered and there are sections are wooded broad walk.  There were limited views of Virginia and Washington, DC from the Island: parts of Downtown Rosslyn, Georgetown, Key Bridge, Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Bridge, Part of Rock Creek and Potomac Park way, Mt Vernon Trial.
