Theodore Roosevelt Island is a national memorial located in the Potomac River in Washington DC. Congress designated this island as a memorial to President Theodore Roosevelt.
In the 1930s, landscape architects transformed the Island from neglected, overgrown farmland into current Island. They conceived a "real forest" designed to mimic the natural forest.
When visit, once you parked your car right off the GW pike way, you will need to walk through a bridge to reach the Island. On the bridge, you will have great views of Georgetown, northern Virginia and Potomac River.
The Island is mostly left in its wild except at the entrance where you see the statue of President Roosevelt.
On the trail, there is a place you can see Georgetown waterfront. The trail around the Island is very short. You will only need about 20 minutes to get around it.
