Point of Rocks is in Frederick County, Maryland. It is named for the striking rock formation it sits on top of, which is only visible from boats on the Potomac River, or from the southern bank of the river in Virginia.
Point of Rocks hosts a bridge over the Potomac River into Virginia on US-15. The next bridge crossing downstream is in Montgomery County at The American Legion Bridge on I-495. There is also a ferry called White's Ferry, that is located between them.
Point of Rocks is a stop on the Maryland Area Regional Commuter Brunswick Line.Template:US-south-geo-stub
