Glover Archbold Park is a wooded park in northwest Washington, DC, with flat, easy-to-follow trails beneath a shady tree canopy. Follow the paths past creeks and information signs, and look out for deer and migratory birds. The trails suit a gentle jog or a beginner-friendly walk, with a quieter feel than the surrounding city. After rain, mud can make the paths less comfortable, so cooler, drier weather is a better time to explore.
