Rock Creek Trail Connection at Georgetown

Use signed paths east of Wisconsin Avenue and confirm temporary detours around roads, bridges, and waterfront construction.

There is no dependable dedicated park lot. Use legal metered street parking or a public garage, and expect high demand on weekends and waterfront event days.

Connection use is free. Yield at merges, expect commuting bicycle traffic and road noise, and check flood or construction closures.

There is no dependable restroom at the trail junction.

General waterfront, fountain, garden, and labyrinth access is free. Parking, boat rentals, food, tours, and events may charge.

Wide paved routes and river overlooks support a relatively accessible visit. River steps, wet fountain pavement, crowding, and transitions to adjacent trails can require care.

Leashed dogs are allowed outdoors under posted rules. Keep pets out of active fountain play, garden beds, and crowded events and remove waste.

The seasonal fountain is a popular free water-play stop. Bring water shoes, dry clothes, sun protection, and a backup plan in case the fountain is off.

Connection use is free. Yield at merges, expect commuting bicycle traffic and road noise, and check flood or construction closures.

The waterfront is not directly at a Metro station. Frequent buses, bikeshare, walking from Foggy Bottom, and the Capital Crescent Trail can be more practical than parking.
