Kingman Island, River island in Washington D.C., United States.
Kingman Island extends across 40 acres of land between the Anacostia River and Kingman Lake, featuring tidal marshes and natural habitats.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers created this artificial island in 1916 using materials dredged from the Anacostia River navigation project.
The Department of Energy and Environment maintains the island as a State Conservation Area, focusing on environmental education and wildlife preservation.
Visitors can reach the island through a renovated pedestrian bridge near the RFK Stadium and explore multiple nature trails.
The southern section of the island contains protected tidal freshwater wetlands, vernal pools, and meadows that support over 100 wildlife species.
