The Reflecting Pool mirrors its surroundings. Elegant and iconic.

“The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is the largest of the many reflecting pools. It is a 2,030-by-167-foot rectangular pool located on the National Mall, directly east of the Lincoln Memorial, with the World War II Memorial and the Washington Monument to the east of the reflecting pool.

Part of the iconic image of Washington, D.C., the reflecting pool hosts many of the 24 million visitors who visit the National Mall annually.

It is lined by walking paths and shade trees on both sides. Depending on the viewer’s vantage point, it DRAMATICALLY REFLECTS the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Mall’s trees, and the expansive sky.”
