Piscataway Park

A unit of National Capital Parks - East

WELCOME! to Piscataway Park HomePage. The tranquil view from Mount Vernon of the Maryland shore of the Potomac is preserved as a pilot project in the use of easements to protect parklands from obtrusive urban expansion. The project began in 1952 to preserve the river view as in was during George Washington's day. Piscataway Park stretches for 6 miles from Piscataway Creek to Marshall Hall on the Potomac River.

The park is seeking public input on the management of off-shore waterfowl hunting in the waters of the Potomac River and Piscataway Creek. Click HERE for the scoping letter with additional information.
