No clue about rules, but I see people launch their blow up kayaks from just west of the boathouse, along the Cap Crescent Trail. It’s not an actual launch point, but accessible enough.

Unfortunately, C&O in DC will be drained, likely into 2025. https://georgetowner.com/articles/2022/10/03/co-canal-repairs/

You should always wear a PFD. That section of the Potomac can be pretty calm, but it can also flow quick at times. The minimal inconvenience of wearing a vest is worth not potentially drowning in the Potomac.

You don’t need any flag.
