OK, I haven't hiked the entire trail to PA.  I've only hiked from Roosevelt Island to 495 bridge, not a short hike nonetheless.

I have seen:
perhaps the biggest trees in VA
lots of junk [makes me want to clean up water ways and stop people from polluting]
the three sisters rocks
anchored boats in the summer
folks biking on the canal trail across the river
Georgetown U.

I have fished for spawning fish with my Dad as a kid, and caught quite a few.

I have found some of the most tranquil space inside the Beltway possible.  You can hike nearly the whole trail on a weekend without seeing other people.

Note: if there has been a lot of rain recently, be wary.  Trees can be down across the trail and high water in the Potomac can be very treacherous.
