Cities need accessible wilderness areas.
Kingman Island is a quiet refuge in DC equally accessed by walking, biking, transit, and car

Yep, great trail views on the Anacostia River Trail this week:
ALT View from Benning Bridge to Heritage Island. There is an egret in the foreground sitting on a boom, with brown muddy water around them and lots of trees and greenery in the background of the island. Its calm and pleasant looking
