Photo dump from a summer we'll be talking about for a long time. America's 250th. The Paddle Off. Every sunset you tagged us in. And it's not over yet.

It's the last weekend of the season and we're sending it off right. A Sunday morning history paddle, live music at Island Time on Saturday, and five boathouses open for one more lap of the river. Don't let this be the one you skip.

Save this and make the plan.

This is your sign to get one more paddle in before the season wraps. Fletcher's Cove, Key Bridge Boathouse, Tidal Basin, and Thompson Boat Center are open daily, and The Wharf Boathouse is open weekends.

Fall on the Potomac is the season people forget about, and honestly? That's the best part. Shorter lines. Better light. Same river.

If you keep saying "before the season ends," this is the weekend...

Leaves are turning, ghost stories are flowing Sunday evening, and there's a Sunday morning nature paddle with your name on it. Live music at Island Time on Saturday, and five boathouses open for one more lap of the river. The whole plan is on screen. Go.

Send this to your paddle buddy.
