D.C.’s inside-the-Beltway Kenilworth Park and Aquatic Gardens sits on the east bank of the Anacostia River where it protects freshwater tidal wetlands and the wildlife that depends on them. It’s an ideal spot to spend a September morning looking for still-active butterflies and other insects, migrant and resident birds, and other wildlife against the backdrop of late-summer blooms and fruiting trees and shrubs. Expect up to a couple miles of walking under open and sunny conditions on natural surface trails and a boardwalk that could be muddy and/or slippery. REGISTER
