Overview of Lake Anna Vacation Rentals

200 Miles of Shoreline Perfect at Lake Anna Vacation Rentals

Located just 18 miles to the west of I-95, Lake Anna is around halfway between Richmond, VA and Washington DC. It is also easily accessible from both Richmond and Charlottesville. This man-made, freshwater lake is 17 miles long with over 200 miles of shoreline. It is Virginia’s second biggest lake and one of its most popular vacation areas.

What to Do on the Lake

Lake Anna condos are rapidly becoming increasingly popular as vacation destinations. The lake itself is certainly the big attraction. It offers excellent sailing, superb fishing and much more. The fishing enthusiasts head to the north side for the wide variety of fish such as several species of bass, bluegill, catfish, crappie, walleye, white and yellow perch. Fishing is so popular that there are local leagues and tournaments to join in with. Those looking to get out on the water will find boat rentals are readily available. The best place for sailing is to the south of the lake where the wide open water provides a great area. While those who are looking for water sports will find the area around the middle of the lake the place to be.

Lake Anna State Park stretches out from the shore and visitors will find this a great place to picnic. It provides launch facilities for boats that are available to the public. There is also a snack bar on the beach as well as an exhibition about the creation of the lake. Within the park, there is mile after mile of hiking and horseback riding trails. Also in the park are the remnants of the old Goodwin Gold Min and visitors may enjoy panning for gold here. While in the park, visitors will want to see the remains of the old plantation house which is easily accessible along one of the hiking trails.

Discover the History of America
