Since some people seem to be interested in the Potomac lately, thought I’d post a thread.
The Potomac is kiteable with some caveats.The best “launches” (I use that term loosely) are Spectator Beach (south of the Wilson Bridge) and TC Williams Boathouse (in Old Town). Spectator Beach is a pull off of the GW Parkway about a mile or so south of Belle Haven Marina. Here is a pic of the launch.
