What we’re about
We are a diverse group of easy going people who enjoy walking and getting to know one another as we walk together.
Please review our recent walks before joining to ensure that you will be an active member. If you join and do not participate within the first few months, Center Hiking will strike you from our members list.
No dogs are officially allowed on the hikes. But all people who enjoy hiking in the company of others, are welcome.
The club was started in 1939. A history of the club can be found at

See all- Anacostia River and BeyondNavy Yard-Ballpark, Washington, DC
A 5 mile hike along the Anacostia River. Meet outside the New Jersey Ave. & M Street SE exit of the Navy Yard/Ballpark Metro Station (Dept of Transportation exit). Outside you will see a Starbucks across the Street, otherwise you are at the wrong exit. We walk adjacent to the river and pass the Navy Yard facility. Then we venture on to visit Kingman Island where we take in the beautiful vistas of the island. Afterwards, we will board the FREE DC Streetcar to 5th and H. We walk to Union Market for lunch/snack. Afterwards, we continue to NaMa-Gallaudet Metro Station ending the hike. (This is a joint hike with the Northern Virginia Hiking Club).
Do not bring car, parking limited and expensive. Come on the Metro.
We hike at a pace of 2.0-2.5 mph when moving.
No park entry fee.
