Where to Kayak Along the Potomac

by | May 6, 2024

Getting out on the water is one of the best ways to enjoy a nice day, spend time with family and friends and take in some of the sites our area has to offer.

Boating in DC offers kayaking and canoeing rentals in D.C. and rentals include life jackets, paddles and cushions.  Rentals which are single person kayaks, double kayaks and canoes are rented by the hour and a staff member will guide you out and give you pointers before you take off.

Bladensburg Waterfront Park Boat Rentals is another great option in Prince George’s County.

Fletcher’s Boathouse allows you to explore the C&O Canal and Potomac River.  You can also find a hidden waterfall cove along your route.  Key Bridge Boathouse and Thompson Boat Center in Georgetown are great areas to launch from to see the Kennedy Center and Lincoln Memorial.
