Fletcher's Cove, Riverfront park in Washington, D.C., United States.

Fletcher's Cove extends along the Potomac River banks, offering multiple trails and water access points for outdoor recreational activities.

The area has maintained continuous operations since the 1850s, with four generations of the Fletcher family managing the site until 2004.

Local residents gather at Fletcher's Cove during spring to participate in traditional dip-netting activities when shad and herring migrate upstream.

The park provides rentals for rowboats, canoes, kayaks, bikes, and paddleboards, with parking facilities available through a small tunnel access.

The Abner Cloud House from 1801 stands as a Federal architecture example, opening monthly for public visits under Colonial Dames of America management.
