When you hit the Potomac River waterfront in Georgetown, you're stepping into a corridor that stretches far beyond the city. The Georgetown Waterfront Park is part of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail, a network authorized by Congress in 1983 that runs all the way to Cumberland, Maryland. It's designed as a pedestrian connection to the river, offering a place to relax and take in the views of the city skyline.
Whether you're biking the trail or just grabbing a coffee at a nearby cafe, it's a reminder that the river is the great connector of the region.
