Washington DC recreation
Wondering what to do D.C.? Washington D.C. recreation is as diverse and
exciting as the city's numerous attractions. For those of you who prefer
your recreation outdoors, try the Potomac River for fishing, boating,
kayaking, and canoeing. Out of the water, we recommend Rock Creek Park
for horseback riding, hiking nature trails, bike paths, and playful picnic
areas. And, don't forget the city's great golf courses, too! A short distance
and a great day trip can be made to Chesapeake Bay for more water adventures,
and then to Mount Vernon for the lush scenery and George Washington's
home. For man-made family fun, the city offers skating rinks, amusement
centers, bowling alleys, arcades, day spas, health and fitness centers,
and just about anything else you can imagine. Year round recreation makes
any month a great time for your vacation, and anywhere you stay will put
you moments from the action! Washington D.C. recreation is all over your
vacation!
