Transportation

Airports


Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) is a 15 minute drive to the area hotels as well as River Creek  Club.  If you are flying into town, Dulles will by far be the most convenient for you.

Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) is an hour drive (with no traffic) to the area hotels as well as River Creek Club.  However, National is located on the Virginia shore of the Potomac River which is excellent for those wanting to spend time in DC – you also get an excellent view of the city on your descent.

The Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) is located neither in Baltimore nor Washington, but it’s proximity to Baltimore makes it unbecoming.  We recommend you avoid this airport like the plague since it is over 90 minutes to drive from the airport to the area hotels and River Creek Club assuming you don’t hit any traffic, which you will.
