Description
The Washington Canoe Club is a boat club on the Potomac River. It is located at 3700 K Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C., in the Georgetown neighborhood. It was established in 1904. The Washington Canoe Club was originally built on pilings in the Potomac River. During the 1960s, the Army Corps of Engineers demolished the piers of the Potomac Aqueduct Bridge. The bank under the Canoe Club became stagnant and was subsequently filled with concrete. Shortly thereafter the area north of the Canoe Club was paved. The club leased the land from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, and now the National Park Service. The club (limited to 200 members) has produced national champions, and Olympic medalists.
