Retreat to the Lyndon Baines Johnson Memorial Grove
George Washington Memorial Parkway
From this distance the seat of national power appears pristine across the river, so President Johnson came here often when he needed to escape from the stresses of building a Great Society. After he died, his wife chose this place for his memorial. A landscape of serpentine paths, white pines, a granite monolith, and an open meadow honors his legacy of social justice and conservation legislation.
Get a workout in while enjoying the beautiful scenery at Lyndon B. Johnson Memorial Grove. Going on a bike ride is a great way to get around the grove, or paddle your way around the Boundary Channel to see the park from a different perspective.

Accessibility
Accessibility is a top priority for the Lyndon Baines Johnson Memorial Grove. Many of our facilities are historic and accessibility is not always ideal. However, we are always working to improve accessibility. Your comments on accessibility areas for improvement are always appreciated. Please feel free to contact us.
Pets
Yes — You may bring your pet with you to the park. With the exception of service animals, pets are not permitted on ranger-led programs. At all times, pets must be restrained on a leash no longer than six feet in length. Leashes protect dogs from becoming lost and from other hazards, such as sick, injured, or rabid animals. Leashes also help protect park resources, including wildlife and vegetation. Pet owners are responsible for picking up pet waste and disposing of it at home. Pets should not be left unattended. Summer sunshine poses a threat to pets left in vehicles. On a bright, sunny day, even in temperatures as low as 60° F, temperatures inside a vehicle can reach dangerous levels. On an 85-degree day, the temperature inside a car-even with the windows cracked-can reach over 100 degrees within 10 minutes.
Reservations
No — To request a ranger-led program at the Memorial Grove call 703‑289‑2553.
