Beautiful Lake Anna is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Virginia, covering over 13,000 acres surrounded by 250 miles of shoreline.

You can reach Lake Anna in around 75 minutes from Richmond, making this outdoor recreational area ideal for day trippers.

You will find just about any kind of water sport on offer somewhere along the lake shore including both motorized and non-motorized activities.

You can bring along your own boat or jet-ski or rent one from one of several lake-side outfitters. In Lake Anna State Park you can go on ranger-led kayak tours, do some fishing or hit the hiking trails. Cabins and yurts are available if you would like to stay overnight.
