A few weeks back (still catching up on blogging here!) I visited Theodore Roosevelt Island. It's technically part of DC, but accessible only from Arlington. This relatively small island is wooded, with trails. The only other things on the island are restrooms at the south end, and a statue of Teddy Roosevelt near the pedestrian bridge.
A lot of it is pleasant woods, remarkable more for feeling removed from the city than for the views. The soundscape is a different matter; you can't hear the bustle of the city, but you can hear planes and helicopters.
My favorite part was a boardwalk on the eastern side, surrounded by wetlands.
