Default Places to run boat in DC area

I'm just about finished with my first R/C boat and would like to find a good place to run it in the Washington DC (suburban Maryland) area.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also as a first-timer, are there any tips or laws I should know about before my first launch?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Yeah, the reflecting pond between the Washington and Lincoln monuments.

Are gas engines allowed there?

Hey, I'm just kidding. I think you would get arrested if you tried. Try the bay or the river.

Depending on which area of the burbs you are, there's a couple clubs in your area. IMPBA Dist 12 covers that area and have regular races in a couple places, very good district. There's a state park not far from Sharpsburg, they race there and a couple other places, can't remember them right now. Where are you in relation to N. Va? There's a few guys in Leesburg Va I can hook you up with, they will be great help! and since your a gassr, I'll give you this email LOLOLOLO! [email protected] get hold of him, he can hook you up!
I used to live in Sterling Va, grew up there and back in the day, I would have ran a boat in the reflecting pool! but we all grow up and eventually end up with something to loose, but it is a cool thought! hahaha
