The cones and unsafe cars actually were (and still are, as of last night) at Gravelly Point.
We were at Daingerfield Island both of the past two weekends. The free parking lot there had plenty of empty spaces both weekends.
We always go to Dangerfield to walk to Old Town. There never have been no spaces.
WRT the cones and unsafe parking people are just entitled asshats.

I was wondering how many people were going to suggest Gravelly Point before someone pointed this out.
When the gov is open, the observation tower at Udvar-Hazy is also a good spot.
Why would they close the car park there when you can still go into national parks?
You can't get into Great Falls NP parking. Not all parks are open for cars.
