  • Create public access to the Potomac River in Arlington County.

Arlington Boathouse Update


Winter, 2012-2013

Over the past summer the National Park Service solicited additional comments from the public regarding options for siting the Arlington Community Boathouse and providing access to the Potomac River for rowing and paddling. The Service is now reviewing the responses received from individuals and organizations. It is anticipated that a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will be released for public comment in the first half of 2013. That draft should identify one or more preferred boathouse sites on which a future Arlington facility could be built.

Thanks to all who responded and communicated to the Park Service their views on the various sites under consideration! We will update this web site to inform you whenever the National Park Service EIS draft is released.
