Nice view of the Potomac.
Except for the littering really great area to get out of the city and do some exploring.
Whitewater takeout after a great time
Good place for fishing
This unassuming local bridge has been transporting commuters between NoVa and DC for more than 80 years, and has been the site of a bridge crossing the majestic if difficult-to-build-a-bridge-over Potomac River. The bridge provides access from Glebe Road in Arlington and the aptly named Old Chain Bridge Road in McLean into DC's southbound Canal Road, and from Clara Barton Pkwy / Canal Rd into Virginia (please pay careful attention to arrows painted on the lanes & the signage for lane shifts on weekdays).
Coming from Maryland on Clara Barton, you can park at the last lot before the bridge, and access the C&O Towpath from the pedestrian ramp off the bridge (on a weekday, remember that when you leave you must obey the signage for lane direction restrictions at certain times). From here on the Towpath it is a straight shot to Georgetown, or a pleasant walk to the lockhouse at Lock 6, the pumping station and beyond.
It's a bridge. Pretty nice view of the Potomac. Loses a star due to traffic
Potomac trail gives a great view of the Potomac and Georgetown with some challenging climbs.
It's a nice bridge
Twilight gold right now
It's the best time to view bridge
Next to your boyfriend.
