How to get to Mason Neck State Park
From Washington, D.C., the park is about a 30 to 45 minute drive south via I-95 and U.S. Route 1 to Lorton, then east on Gunston Road and High Point Road. Alexandria is roughly 20 miles north and Richmond is about 90 miles south on I-95. RV drivers should note that the park entrance road is narrow and winding through residential areas, with limited turnaround space at the visitor center, so larger rigs are best parked at nearby Pohick Bay Regional Park and visited by tow vehicle. The closest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA), with Dulles International (IAD) also within reach.
