Getting There

Gravelly Point Park is located directly north of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, accessible from the northbound lanes (east side) of the George Washington Memorial Parkway.

From Washington, D.C.:  Take I-395 South to Exit 10B.  Follow signs for George Wash Mem Pkwy S / Reagan Nat'l Arpt / Mount Vernon, and merge onto George Washington Memorial Parkway.  You cannot access Gravelly Point from the southbound parkway lanes, so continue past Gravelly Point on the left and instead take the exit on the right toward Reagan Nat'l Airport.  Continue onto Airport Access Rd and bear right (do not fully enter the airport), looping around until you merge onto the northbound George Washington Memorial Parkway lanes (follow signs for GW Parkway North / Washington / I-395).  Continue north on the George Washington Memorial Parkway until you reach the Gravelly Point exit on the right, and proceed to the parking lot. 

From I-495:  Proceed on I-495 to U.S. Route 1, and merge onto US-1 N / S Patrick St toward Alexandria.  Continue on US-1 N for two miles and turn right onto Slaters Ln.  Turn left onto George Washington Memorial Parkway and continue for three miles until you reach the Gravelly Point exit on the right, and proceed to the parking lot.

Parking:  Ample parking is available in the Gravelly Point parking lot.
