Lake Artemesia Natural Area
4.8 (1,178)park
4.8 (1,178)Boardwalks and paved trails loop a 38-acre lake, with fishing piers and quiet spots to watch turtles and waterfowl.
Description
The park centers on a former sand and gravel quarry lake, managed as a nature reserve by M-NCPPC Park and Planning. Its multi-use paved trail system connects to the Anacostia Tributary Trail Network, while boardwalks extend across the wetlands. For anglers, a floating dock provides a dedicated setup for catch-and-release fishing.
