Hains Point

Perfect fall weather, with some clouds and a nice breeze. Enjoyed a long run to/from Hains Point in East Potomac Park. The 300-plus acre peninsula is located between the Potomac River and the Washington Channel. There is a golf course, mini-golf course, tennis center, outdoor pool, playground, picnic areas, and 320 free parking spaces. This is definitely a Washington gem.

Path along the Potomac, on my way to Hains Point.
Air Mail plaque commemorating first airplane mail delivery route in West Potomac Park. It is mounted on a rock along the path.
