It was alright. Hard to find parking and then you walk over the bridge to the island. No bikes allowed. Wooden trail over the swamp or muddy dirt trails after it rains. I wouldn't go on a hot day.

Very nice island that I didn't even know existed until a random internet search turned it up. There is plenty of parking, some bicycles you can rent for the trail that connects to Mt. Vernon, water fountains, and a bathroom on the island. However, the bathrooms are the reason for my 4 star review. I wanted to gag walking in the women's restroom. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned since before covid! Would much rather use a porta potty rather than use them! Something definitely needs to be done about them... Otherwise, the rest of the island is amazing. There is about 2 miles of walking trails around the island, with a map provided, and of course the memorial. It being early March when I visited, nothing was in bloom, so I would love to come back in the Spring.
