Theodore Roosevelt Island is an 88.5-acre island in the Potomac River.                                                                                                                  It is maintained as a National Park and has various walking trails.

Duration:  about 1 hour
Distance: just under 2 miles
Terrain: paved walkway, several small hills
Supplies: waste bags, water, etc. 
Special notes: Pets must be restrained on a leash no more than six feet long at all times.

DIRECTIONS:

By Car: Drivers can only reach Theodore Roosevelt Island from the northbound lanes of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. After Memorial Bridge, follow the sign to turn right into the parking lot.
Please note that you must park in a designated space—US Park Police regularly ticket drivers who park on the grass.
By Metro: The island is 10-15 minutes from the Rosslyn Metro station. From the station, walk toward the Key Bridge. A short connecting trail leads downhill from the downstream side of the bridge, across the parkway, and into the parking lot at Theodore Roosevelt Island.
