Gravelly Point

Gravelly Point

Gravelly Point is a park in Arlington, Virginia, United States. The Park is located north of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, along the George Washington Parkway, and across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C.

The park is a primary intersection on weekends of boaters, cyclists, and plane-spotters. Its unique location just a few hundred feet from the north-end of Reagan's runway 1/19 makes it one of the best spots in the United States for plane-spotting.
