How Crowded Is LBJ Memorial Grove on the Potomac in November?

November runs about 1.1× LBJ Memorial Grove on the Potomac's average month, which makes it an average month here — roughly 9% of the park's yearly visitors come in November.

In a typical November the park sees about 23,000 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1984 to 2025.

That makes November the 5th-busiest of the park's twelve months, sitting between the July peak (1.3×) and the February low (0.6×).

On our Best Time to Visit score November rates 31/100 ("Poor"), versus the top-rated April at 62/100 — pleasant weather with noticeably thinner crowds (shoulder season).

Typical November weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 58°F and an overnight low around 42°F, with about 2.9" of precipitation.

That average of about 50°F is cool, so layers and a shorter daylight window matter.

Because June, July and August together draw about 30% of annual visitors, choosing November instead steps outside that summer crush — the single biggest lever on how crowded the park feels.

You'll have about 9.8 hours of daylight in November to explore — between the 9.3-hour midwinter low and the 14.7-hour summer high.

Park-wide, 2025 drew 236,042 recreation visits, down 2.2% from 241,358 in 2024.
