Small riverside park on the Potomac with a short pier, marsh edges and open sky — great for water reflections, sunset silhouettes, and saltmarsh birdlife. Best at golden hour or blue hour for dramatic color; weekday mornings have fewer visitors. Small gravel parking and short level walks from the lot; no entry fee. Expect mosquitoes in summer and chilly winds in winter; bring waterproof footwear for mud near the shoreline.
