Known forhidden gemNPSGeorgetownwoodland
A hidden gem of wild, naturalistic parkland tucked behind the famous Dumbarton Oaks estate, this NPS-managed park offers winding trails through a forested ravine with a stream. It feels remarkably remote for being steps from Georgetown's bustle. Best visited in spring for wildflowers or fall for foliage. The trails can be muddy and unmarked, so wear appropriate footwear.
