Lake Anna State Park offers a beautiful setting for fishing, boating, hiking, and camping along one of Virginia's largest freshwater inland lakes.
Located along the picturesque Lake Anna, Lake Anna State Park in Virginia spans over 3,000 acres offering diverse recreation opportunities. Initially explored for its mineral springs, the area has transformed into a haven for water-based activities. Visitors can swim at one of the best freshwater beaches in the state, launch boats from well-equipped ramps, or enjoy tranquil fishing spots housing largemouth bass, striped bass, and catfish. The park's trails meander through wooded areas and offer views of the surrounding landscape, rich with local flora and fauna, including a variety of bird species. Lake Anna State Park also holds significance for its historical treasures, such as remnants from the gold mining era, which are still visible today. The park is equipped with well-maintained amenities, making it a popular destination for both day-trippers and overnight campers.
