Keep in mind that you need to have a D.C. fishing license before casting your first line. While the fish bite, the District Department of the Environment (DDOE) strictly regulates which fish can be consumed. Many of the fish species here are not safe to eat, so make sure to read up on the most recent catch and release regulations and health warnings before taking anything home.</p><p>The Potomac River is known for its fishing, crabbing, and shell fishing. A sport fishing license is required before using this “fishing hole,” and one must keep up with the newest regulations. The striped bass season opens on April 15 and runs through May 15, with the summer and fall season opening May 16 through Dec. 31. Eighteen additional fish species call the Potomac River home, and are legal to fish during the appropriate season. Stop by their website and check the regulations to make sure the fish you’re catching is legal.</p> <blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/Beq_tKxnU9F/" data-instgrm-version="8" style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);"> <div style="padding: 8px;"> <div style="background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;"> <div style="background: url(data:image/png; base64,ivborw0kggoaaaansuheugaaacwaaaascamaaaapwqozaaaabgdbtueaalgpc/xhbqaaaafzukdcak7ohokaaaamuexurczmzpf399fx1+bm5mzy9amaaadisurbvdjlvzxbesmgces5/p8/t9furvcrmu73jwlzosgsiizurcjo/ad+eqjjb4hv8bft+idpqocx1wjosbfhh2xssxeiyn3uli/6mnree07uiwjev8ueowds88ly97kqytlijkktuybbruayvh5wohixmpi5we58ek028czwyuqdlkpg1bkb4nnm+veanfhqn1k4+gpt6ugqcvu2h2ovuif/gwufyy8owepdyzsa3avcqpvovvzzz2vtnn2wu8qzvjddeto90gsy9mvlqtgysy231mxry6i2ggqjrty0l8fxcxfcbbhwrsyyaaaaaelftksuqmcc); display: block; height: 44px; margin: 0 auto -44px; position: relative; top: -22px; width: 44px;"></div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Beq_tKxnU9F/" style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">A post shared by Zeta Psi | Georgetown (@zetapsigu)</a> on <time style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;" datetime="2018-02-01T23:02:50+00:00">Feb 1, 2018 at 3:02pm PST</time></p> </div> </blockquote> <script async="" defer="defer" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js" type="text/javascript"></script><p>The Chesapeake Bay runs across Virginia and Maryland, as well as the greater D.C. area, and is an angler favorite.

Anacostia National Park is open year-round and offers incredible fishing opportunities. Keep in mind that you need to have a D.C. fishing license before casting your first line. While the fish bite, the District Department of the Environment (DDOE) strictly regulates which fish can be consumed. Many of the fish species here are not safe to eat, so make sure to read up on the most recent catch and release regulations and health warnings before taking anything home.
The Potomac River is known for its fishing, crabbing, and shell fishing. A sport fishing license is required before using this “fishing hole,” and one must keep up with the newest regulations. The striped bass season opens on April 15 and runs through May 15, with the summer and fall season opening May 16 through Dec. 31. Eighteen additional fish species call the Potomac River home, and are legal to fish during the appropriate season. Stop by their website and check the regulations to make sure the fish you’re catching is legal.
The Chesapeake Bay runs across Virginia and Maryland, as well as the greater D.C. area, and is an angler favorite. The rockfish, bluefish, speckled trout, croaker, and flounder make for exciting sport. Make sure to note where exactly you are on the bay, as the regulations differ from state to state and district to district. Colored markers exist throughout the bay to help you in determining your location. Charter boats are available throughout the region to bring you out on the water.
Park along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and cast a line from shore to try your luck at catching bass. Other fish available in the canal include carp, catfish, and the occasional snakehead (but watch out for them—they’re an invasive species). Some anglers use bows and arrows to catch their canal fish. But, of course, a regular line works perfectly fine, too.
Not far outside of the D.C. metro area, Burke Lake in Fairfax Station is a wonderful destination for anglers of all experience levels. Sprawled across more than 200 acres, Burke Lake boasts plenty of opportunity for outdoor recreation, with fishing being among the very best. Fishermen and women will find everything from perch to sunfish to catfish.

The third national park ever authorized in the United States, Rock Creek is 1,754-acres of horseback riding, biking, hiking, concerts, and more. The park is free to enter, although permits are required for film crews, tennis players, scientists working in the planetarium, picnickers, and weddings. In Rock Creek, you’re never too far from the action, but always just far enough to reconnect with nature.
Rock Creek Park has over 32 miles of hiking trails, with two primary routes: The Western Ridge and Valley Trail. Visitors are encouraged to create their own hikes by running along the connecting trails that run along both routes.
Rock Creek is overflowing with incredible history. Make sure to run by the Peirce Mill. Originally built in the 1820s, the mill is a National Historic Place. Plans are in place to eventually return the mill to full operation.
One of Washingtonian magazine’s “100 Best Restaurants in D.C.” since 2012, Ardeo + Bardeo combines modern American food with Asian and Mediterranean flavors. It’s only five minutes outside of Rock Creek Park. Stop by for happy hour, dinner, or brunch service.
Did you know the Smithsonian’s National Zoo is free of charge? And that it’s right next to Rock Creek Park? Do we need to say more? The zoo, founded in 1889, is home to over 1,500 animals and is well worth an excursion.
At the Rock Creek Park Horse center, you’ll find boarding services, riding lessons, guided trail rides, and even pony rides for the little ones! This is the perfect spot to bring the whole family for a unique and memorable adventure.
Blondie and me 🎠Shes a former Fox Hunting horse too. Giddy up!
