the pool is undergoing work and is drained currently. Obviously a very busy attraction, and very busy. Great to see at night as well!!

The Lincoln Memorial is Amazing! Unfortunately the reflective pool is under construction, so the water was drained. If you visit Washington, make sure to find a parking lot as there is no where to park around here.

The memorial is as beautiful as always, but travellers should know that construction on the reflecting pool and in the surrounding area detract from the experience. Check the status of the construction - hopefully it is finished soon.
