Things to Do

Lake Anna State Park

Spanning over 3000 acres, Lake Anna State Park is the perfect spot to spend a day to:


- Get outdoors and enjoy nature!

The park has more than 15 miles of trails that may be utilized for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Although some trails are exclusively for hikers, many are mixed-use, and you can take your dog for a peaceful walk in the woods.


- Go Fishing!

Largemouth bass, crappie, bream, and other freshwater species are abundant in Lake Anna.


- Learn about history & culture!

Learn about the history of the Goodwin Gold Mine. This region of VA was formerly known as "Gold Hill," which was the site of the Goodwin Gold Mine. In 1829, gold was found here for the first time, and during the 1880s, gold panning on the property was popular.
