Anacostia River Boat Tour

Monday, May 19, 2025
5:00 PM EDT - 7:00 PM EDT

Join the Anacostia Watershed Society for a boat tour of the Anacostia River to explore the ecological and historical changes that have occurred in the river and in the communities around the river. We will have the opportunity to witness some of the restoration of river habitats and how it has caused the rebound of the wildlife and observe trash reduction projects along the Anacostia River. 

Meeting Location: We will gather at the boat ramp at Bladensburg Waterfront Park at 4601 Annapolis Rd, Bladensburg, MD 20710. The park is accessible via Bike Trail (Anacostia Tributary Trail System: Anacostia River Trail). Parking is available.  

What to Wear/Bring: We recommend dressing appropriately for the weather and bringing water, a hat, and sunscreen. 

Note:  

• All tours are weather dependent. We will proceed in light rain, but may need to cancel if there is heavy rain, lightning, or strong wind in the forecast.
• If you are sick or exhibiting symptoms associated with COVID-19 (such as fever, chills, cough, sore throat, difficulty breathing, loss of taste or smell, etc.), please do not come to the event and consider joining us another time.

If you have any questions prior to the event, please contact Emily Castelli at ecastelli2@anacostiaws.org or 301-699-6204 ext. 103. 

We look forward to hosting you on our favorite river!
