Things To Do

Theodore Roosevelt Island is a living memorial dedicated to the 26th President of the United States.  The Island has several gentle nature trails and boardwalk that allow visitors to escape from the urban environment and view wildlife in the forest and swamp.

Visitors can learn about the natural environment and rich history of Theodore Roosevelt Island while walking the natural trails.  They can also learn the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt while viewing the Memorial Plaza. 

Pets are permitted on Theodore Roosevelt Island if they are wearing a leash no longer than 6 feet and the owner is holding the leash at all times.

Bicycling is not permitted on Theodore Roosevelt Island.  There is a bicycle rack located in the parking lot area next to the Mount Vernon Trail.

 

Whitetail fawn  

Did You Know?
If you find a fawn in Great Falls National Park, it's not abandoned and should be left where it was found. The doe leaves her fawn while she goes to graze, and the fawn will not move until the mother comes back.
