The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is a man made, very long, thin, shallow body of water, and does exactly what its name intends.... reflects! Reaching from the Lincoln Memorial to the National World War II Memorial, it holds about 4 million gallons of water.

Nice for a walk, especially during sunset or sunrise.

I read a lot about this pool and the surrounding area. Breathtaking if you look closely at this size and the reflections in the water
