Complete information about visiting Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens is now on National Park Planner!
Located in Washington D. C., Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens is the only National Park unit dedicated to water plants. Begin your visit to the park at the Visitor Center where you can learn about water lilies and lotuses. Afterwards, tour the gardens along various paths that run between the forty-four ponds. If you want to see the marsh, take the short boardwalk that begins at the back left corner of the gardens. There is also a trail that connects to the Anacostia River Trail, a paved, multi-use path that is open to hikers, bikers, and those on roller skates.
