Georgetown Waterfront & Historic Walk
Washington DC, United States
About This Activity
Georgetown predates the capital itself and retains a distinct character with Federal-style townhouses, the historic C&O Canal towpath, and the M Street and Wisconsin Avenue shopping corridor. Georgetown Waterfront Park offers Potomac River views and outdoor dining. The Exorcist Steps on Prospect Street have been a cult film landmark since 1973.
Seasonal note: Best Apr-Jun and Sep-Oct; C&O Canal kayaking available May-Sep
