Are people allowed to picnic along the edge of East Potomac park on Ohio Drive sw? Would I have to reserve a spot in that area even though there are no tables there? I'm aware Hains Point is a popular spot but I don't want to picnic in that area.

Yes I see them doing it but no tables

More of the locals pass that walk-by for it's "neutral" sights.

I'm not sure that's allowed yet

Yes

Yes, the one thing they haven't closed in DC

Yes there are areas to have a picnic

I am not sure if you would be allowed to picnic at this time in Potomac Park.

I have enjoyed several picnics there without having to reserve a spot.But always clean up after yourselves.

Im not sure. I believe the roads are closed around the area to cars but pedestrisns can still enjoy the area. Youd just have to walk in and carry everything with you as no cars are allowed during peak bloom
