The Lake Artemesia Trail—one component of the larger Anacostia Tributary Trail System—completely encircles its scenic eponymous lake in Prince George's County, Maryland for just over one mile.
About the Route
Lake Artemesia was developed during the 1976 construction of the adjacent Washington Metro rail line. A fishing pier can be found on the north end of the lake, and restrooms and a water fountain are located near the trail's midpoint. Several gazebos dot the lake's shoreline as well, making the man-made lake a beautiful place for a picnic, rest, recreation or exercise. A popular birding trail can also be found nearby.
Connections
The Lake Artemesia Trail is part of the larger Anacostia Tributary Trail System. The trail is also a great starting point for longer treks, as it directly connects with the Paint Branch Trail, Indian Creek Trail, and Northeast Branch Trail.
