To reach Ft. Armistead, you indeed exit off I-695 at Exit 1 - Quarantine
Road. If approaching from the Glen Burnie side, at the top of the ramp,
turn right (if coming from the Dundalk side by way of the Key Bridge, turn
left at the top of the ramp, cross the bridge over the beltway and follow
the rest of the instructions after passing the light on the south side of
the bridge). Drive 150 feet and turn left onto Fort Smallwood Rd. (Hawkins
Point Rd goes to the right at this intersection, Ft. Smallwood Road goes
left). You can turn left here from the left and center lanes but the center
one is best because you'll need to be in the right lane after getting onto
Fort Smallwood Road. After driving about 1/4 mile, Fort Armistead Road
intersects with Ft Smallwood Road BUT YOU HAVE TO EXIT RIGHT on a 'jug
handle' ramp to turn left - THERE IS NO LEFT TURN off Ft. Smallwood onto Ft
Armistead. Once on Ft. Armistead Road, just take it all the way to the end.
There is an upper lot and a road to the right that drops down closer to the
water.

On the way out, make sure that you go all the way out to Fort Smallwood Rd.
to get back on the beltway (I-695) towards Glen
Burnie/Catonsville/Pikesville. Only take the right onto east bound I-695
off Ft. Armistead Road if you want to cross the Key Bridge to Dundalk/Essex.

Search Ft Armistead Road, Baltimore on Google or Bing Maps for an overhead
view of the area that will make these instructions much clearer.
