On this route, the riverside for the first mile is mostly undeveloped and surrounded by forest and parkland and after passing Route 50 the river passes through lovely swamp and marsh and host an abundance of waterfowl. This area includes the beautiful Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens which is worth the side trip. From this point on stone or concrete seawalls gird the banks. The river is calm and lazy with no rapids or riffles. The take-out is around Hains Point and up the Potomac to the launching ramp on the north side of National Airport at Roaches Run. This area is popular during summer for motor boats.
