Kingman Island










Cultural Tourism DC led a walking tour September 29 of Heritage and Kingman Islands in the Anacostia River northeast of RFK Stadium. Kingman Island stretches from above Benning Road to below East Capitol Street. Bridges lead from the northern RFK parking lot to the smaller Heritage Island and then across "Kingman Lake" to Kingman Island.

As part of the competing plans to preserve, restore and develop the Anacostia River, these man-made islands are to become an environmental education center with native plants. Nobody has explain how any flora on a man-made island can be considered to be "invasive species."
