Theodore Roosevelt Island is located between Arlington Memorial Bridge and Key Bridge on the Potomac River. Get there by car from the northbound lanes of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. Designated parking is available. From the lot, take the footbridge across to access the island. Or, take the metro; it’s a 10-15 minute walk from the Rosslyn Metro station. The island is open year-round from 6 am to 10 pm. Admission is free.
