Directions
to ARS National Visitor Center |
|
|
The ARS
National Visitor Center is
located in Beltsville, Maryland,
just off Powder Mill Road (Maryland
212), north of the Washington
Beltway (Interstate 495), east
of Baltimore Blvd. (U.S. 1),
and west of the Baltimore-Washington
Parkway (BW Parkway, Maryland
295).
No
matter what direction you're coming
from, we recommend that you navigate
to the BW Parkway (295) north of
the Washington Beltway and take the
Powder Mill Road exit going west.*
Going
west on Powder Mill Road, drive about
1.6 miles to Log Lodge Road on the
left.
As its
name implies, the Log Lodge is a large
log cabin. It's nestled in a dip but
is easily visible to anyone driving
in from the BW Parkway.
Visitor
parking is available after you circle
past the entrance to the Log Lodge,
which houses the Visitor Center.
This
is the least confusing route and largely
free of stop-and-go traffic.
If you
find yourself on Interstate 95 north
of the Washington Beltway, take the
Powder Mill Road (212) exit going east.
Continue east across U.S. 1 about 1.5
miles; the Log Lodge will be on your
right.
* Don't
be confused by signs for the Patuxent
National Wildlife Center or the NASA-Goddard
Visitor Center, which are reachable
by taking the Powder Mill Road (212)
exit going east.
