Lake Anna Virginia - Geography
Lake Anna Location
Lake Anna is located in central Virginia between 3 major cities; Fredericksburg, Charlottesville and Richmond, and only an hour and a half from Washington, DC. A Lake Anna home or land property is convenient for a week ending summer get away and yet perfect for the full time family that commutes to work, or enjoys the lake each day in glorious retirement.
Two Lakes in One
Lake Anna has been referred to as two lakes in one. The main or public lake consists of 9,600 acres and hosts marinas, restaurants and other commercial establishments. The Lake Anna State Park is located here as well as over 75 of our lake communities and the majority of our residents.
The private side is separated by three rock dykes from the main lake and consists of 3,400 acres and acts as the cooling lagoons for the power plant. There is no public access unless you own property on that section. There are no public boat ramps or marinas though many lovely homes adorn the shoreline.
Each section should be explored fully by a prospective buyer. Most decide on the particular house or lot and are happy with whichever section in which it may be located.
Lake Anna State Park
The State Park, here at Lake Anna, has a beach area with snack bar, docks, an exhibit center showing how the lake was created and miles of hiking and horse trails. The original plantation house still stands in ruins and a hiking trail leads you on a pleasant walk to it. Don't miss a trip here!
