From the National Park Service: 'The National Park Service has completed the Environmental Assessment for the future management of Beach Drive in Rock Creek
“The National Park Service has completed the Environmental Assessment for theTo improve recreational opportunities, minimize impacts to natural and historic resources, and address the needs of people who drive and those who use non-motorized transportation, we are proposing to close the upper portion of Beach Drive NW to motorized vehicles from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day every year.
“Rock Creek Park provides endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, exploration and relaxation in the heart of Washington, D.C.,” Julia Washburn, Rock Creek Park superintendent, said. “The preferred alternative is a compromise that will allow us to best protect natural resources, while providing access to this beloved area of the park to the greatest number of visitors.”
Between Joyce Road and Picnic Area 10, Beach Drive would remain open to motorized vehicles only to access group picnic areas and parking lots. Ross Drive would always be open to motorized vehicles. As part of the EA process, the NPS analyzed the potential for the proposed closures to impact visitor use and experience, transportation and safety, historic districts and cultural landscapes, and wildlife and habitat.
