The Reflecting Pool Is Cleaner, But Paint Is Peeling

Visitors on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial are reflected in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on the National Mall in Washington, DC, on June 23, 2026. The pool was cleaned following a significant algae bloom, revealing extensive deterioration of its multi-million dollar blue epoxy paint coating, visible on the pool floor.
