Lake Artemesia Natural Area

Information: 301-699-CALL(2255); TTY 301-699-2544

This Ranger cache will take you on a 1 mile round trip hike at the wonderful Lake Artemesia Natural Area. The best parking is at Branchview/Ballew Avenue in Berwyn Heights.
Highlighted by a 38-acre lake, this park boasts an aquatic garden, good fishing, a handicapped accessible fishing pier, and more than two miles of hiker-biker trails including the Luther Goldman Birding Trail. These trails connect the lake to the Calvert Road Park and the grounds of the College Park Airport and Aviation Museum. No vehicles are permitted on park grounds. Visitors can also enter the park via trails at the 5200 block of Calvert Road in College Park, or Osage Street and Swathmore Court in Berwyn Heights.

The park was developed during the construction of the nearby Washington Metro rail line. Builders removed sand and gravel from the park area to use in the rail project, in exchange for building a lake and developing the natural recreation area. The park got its name from a local resident; Mrs. Artemesia N. Drefs donated 10 lots to be used for open space. She recalled that her father had the area surveyed in 1890, and later rented the land to a family who used small natural ponds on the property to raise goldfish.
There is a high muggle concentration here, be very stealthful.
