Celebrate Columbus Day Weekend and Take Your Boat Out on the Water | Woodbridge, VA

Get out and celebrate Columbus Day the way Christopher Columbus would have it by taking your boat out this weekend! Over 500 years ago, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

We suggest venturing out on the Potomac River and enjoying the (hopefully) wonderful sunshine minus the big ocean waves Columbus had to endure. After all your fun, come by Gateway Storage in Lorton, VA and check out our clean, secure, and easily accessible boat storage options to store and protect your vessel of liberty.

Gateway Storage is conveniently located within 5 miles of boat launching ramps for the Potomac and less than a mile from I-95. Our Lorton facility, just a few miles north of Woodbridge, offers unlimited 24-hour access, making it easy for you and your group to quickly grab your boat and hit the water in no time.
Happy holiday weekend!

Focus on Boating in Northern Virginia | Leesylvania State Park in Woodbridge

In the first installment of our series focusing on opportunities for boating enthusiasts in Northern Virginia, we Gateway Storage Center Boat Parkingtake a look at Leesylvania State Park located in Woodbridge, about nine miles south from Gateway Storage’s Lorton facility.

Opened in 1992, Leesylvania State Park is built upon land donated by Daniel Ludwig in the late seventies.  The park stretches out over almost 550 acres on a peninsula that borders the Potomac River, Neabsco Creek and Powell’s Creek.

Even though the park’s convenient location in southeast Prince William County is only twenty-five miles from Washington, DC, Leesylvania park is sometimes considered to be in the shadow of it’s big sister, Lake Anna.  Still, the park’s popular boat launch into the Potomac for power boats and a cartop launch for canoes and kayaks into Powell’s creek offers area boaters convenient access to the waterways.  The park also features a 300′ accessible fishing pier.

Leesylvania is open April through October during daylight hours (overnight boating and pier fishing is allowed in March and November as well). More comforts for boaters include restroom facilities with showers, a snack bar with sandwiches and ice cream, gas station, a marine store with a boat pump out station, and plenty of trailer parking.

Check out the park’s Yelp page for pictures and reviews.
