Will Nesbitt kayaking the Dyke Marsh
The Dyke Marsh Nature Preserve is managed by the National Park Service as a part of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. Dyke Marsh is located along the west bank of the Potomac River and includes approximately 485 acres of tidal marsh, floodplain, and swamp forest. Dyke Marsh is one of the largest remaining freshwater tidal wetlands in the Washington Metropolitan area. Today, the nature preserve provides a habitat or home for a diverse array of plants and animals and offers an ideal setting for a variety of recreational activities. The trail, which leads visitors into the marsh, known as the “Haul Road,” is a favorite of area birdwatchers, hikers, photographers, and nature lovers. In addition, the waters in and around the marsh are popular fishing areas. People who explore the marsh by canoe may be rewarded with up-close encounters with the resident wildlife.
Belle Haven Marina is just south of Old Town Alexandria.
There are a number of neighborhoods and condos in close proximity to the marsh, including River Towers where many residents have views to the marsh itself. Belle View is also popular for affordable convenient living near Old Town. If you’re looking for a single-family home in a fine neighborhood near the Potomac, you’re looking near the Dyke Marsh between Fort Hunt Road and the George Washington Parkway.

A Pedestrian’s Perspective: From the Parkway to the Woodrow Wilson Bridge
Looking for a peaceful place to travel to get out of the house? All along the George Washington Parkway stretches a path that goes all the way to Washington DC. This distance is frequented by people going at their own pace – from the high speed bicyclist commuter to the power walking local. On the way there are places to picnic / barbeque, waters to fish, and open fields for recreation.
An often overlooked detour is available just before Old Town Alexandria. By taking a pedestrian path onto the Woodrow Wilson Bridge there is a path that hugs the road until arriving at the National Harbor. It starts with a view of a graveyard. Then the panorama delivers a waterfront city skyline juxtapositioned with vehicles driving across the bridge.
Finally after passing the bridge there is a place to sit and enjoy the view, or continue to the National Harbor. Round trip its worth the effort.
