Tucked away in the shadows of the Key Bridge is one of Washington's must destinations for locals and visitors alike. Established in the 1940's, Jack's Boathouse is a truly unique getaway for those in the know.
Located on the edge of the Potomac River at 3500 K Street, NW, Jack's offers visitors unique views of the Potomac River, Kennedy Center, Washington Monument, Roosevelt Island, and Key Bridge, while just down the street sit a number of Georgetown waterfront restaurants.
As available, parking is free for renters. Should the lot be full, K Street has ample meter parking, as well as parking garages. Standard canoes, and single and tandem kayaks are available to rent.
