Steps of the Georgetown waterfront If you’re looking for a more vanilla spot to enjoy a picnic in Georgetown, set up your meal on the large cement steps at the edge of the Georgetown Waterfront Park, just past the complex of restaurants. Beforehand, you can stop by Baked & Wired and grab a few sweet treats and some iced coffee to spruce up your picnic basket. Then, walk down to these steps that give you an up-close view of the river and all its wildlife. You’ll almost always get a chance to pet a few dogs in this higher foot-trafficked area.
