The Anacostia Community Boathouse Association (ACBA) is dedicated to fostering safe and environmentally responsible recreation on the Anacostia River by maintaining a community boathouse located at 11th and O Streets in Southeast Washington, DC. Founded on a vigorous spirit of volunteerism, the Anacostia Community Boathouse Association has been an integral part of the growth of Washington's rowing and paddling community - while working to create a premier center for rowing and paddling training and competition. ACBA members have been actively living the District's Anacostia Waterfront Initiative for nearly two decades and through many years of hard work and dedication, an underutilized facility has been transformed into a thriving rowing and paddlesport center that annually serves thousands of children and adults. ACBA believes that usage brings stewardship, and that increased recreational activity on the Anacostia River and along its shores will bring awareness of the river as a valuable natural resource. The site is publicly accessible and incorporates the Anacostia Riverwalk trail.
