Jogging track
If you are staying in the Georgetown area of Washington & want to exercise, check out the old canal running parallel to M Street only one block away on the south side. Along the canal, there is a dirt road, originally used by the horses that once pulled the barges on the canal. The dirt road is closed to cars & superb for jogging or walking. Run westwards & after about 800 meters, you will find yourself in tranquil surroundings, with the canal on one side & woods on the other, stretching down to the Potomac River. The road goes on for miles & is used extensively by local joggers.
