This Potomac River island is an apt memorial to the conservation-minded Teddy Roosevelt, the nation's 26th president. The 88-acre wildlife refuge can be explored along winding footpaths. In a clearing at the island's center stands a 22-foot bronze statue of Roosevelt, accompanied by inscriptions of his eloquent thoughts on nature and conservation. Access the island from Virginia via George Washington Memorial Parkway. A pedestrian bridge connects the island to a parking lot on the Virginia shoreline.

Nice alternative to travel through the DC area. You dont have to worry about heavy traffic or tractor trailers zooming by nearly forcing you off the road.
Scenic. Spacious. Medians. No trucks. Watch out for deer and people from Maryland. Five stars.

I like coming here to run the trails; I always see deer here in the winter time and can see the Kennedy Center and Georgetown from the water's edge. To get there you have to either get onto GW Parkway heading north or park in Rosslyn (Arlington, VA) and walk over the pedestrian bridge heading onto the bike path.
