Lake Armestia has a paved path which surrounds the lake. This is an excellent spot to take your critter for a run or rollerblade, if you dare. The lake is accessible via Rte 193. Signs are readily visible. The road does wind around quite a bit, and does go through a slightly industrial area. The lake is located right next to a park police station, so do not fear. This lake is part of the Washington path system that goes from Washington, DC through many different parts of suburban Maryland. All parts of the path are paved.
