Welcome to

Lake Anna

As Virginia’s second largest fresh water reservoir, Lake Anna spans 13,000 acres across three Central Virginia counties. With over 200 miles of shoreline, Lake Anna attracts vacationers seeking top-tier bass fishing, wakeboarding, and relaxing lakeside family retreats.

With a dedicated public beach area, plenty of coves and islands to explore by boat, and surrounded by nature preserves, Lake Anna is a haven for water sports. Boaters enjoy the 45 minute north-to-south cruise across Lake Anna’s 17 mile expanse, while hiking enthusiasts take to nearby trails and state parks.

Located just 90 minutes from Washington, DC, Lake Anna has been a popular drive-to destination from neighboring urban hubs since its creation in the early 70s. In 1972, the Army Corps of Engineers created Lake Anna by damming the North Anna River. The dam could regulate and provide cooling water to the North Anna Nuclear Generating Station. Today, Lake Anna is one of Virginia's most popular recreational destinations.

Vacationers choose Lake Anna for a quiet, family-friendly escape from busy cities. The region offers an engaging mix of outdoor activities, local wineries, and waterfront dining that appeals to people of all ages.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best time to visit Lake Anna is from late May to early September, when water temperatures are ideal for swimming, tubing, and kayaking. But don't rule out Autumn, when the spectacular backdrop of changing leaves and comfortable weather makes hiking a delight.

Lake Anna is easily accessible by car and located at a convenient driving distance from several larger cities and urban areas:

  • From Washington, DC: 80 miles
  • From Richmond, VA: 50 miles
  • From Fredericksburg, VA: 20 miles

Definitely. Lake Anna State Park in Spotsylvania County hugs the shores of Lake Anna, offering a swimming beach, picnic areas, playground, and numerous other amenities. Note - there is an access fee to the lake area as well as a per person fee to the beach.

Lake Anna is divided into a larger Public Side extending north to south on the lake’s eastern shore, and a small Private Side in the southwest portion of the lake. In addition to the Public Side generally having cooler water than the Private Side, the former is where you will find waterfront marinas, restaurants, public launches, and other amenities accessible by boat.

The Private Side is considered to be the “warmer” part of Lake Anna and less crowded overall and is only accessible to property owners in that area. The two parts of Lake Anna are separated by a series of dikes so you cannot cross to the other side by boat.
