Kick Back at Lake Anna in Central Virginia.
Swimming, boating, and fishing are welcome on the third largest lake in Virginia. It is a peaceful retreat with many areas available to spread out. Private homes, cabins, and yurts are available for rent on and near Lake Anna and they are quite reasonably priced compared to many other seasonal communities. It’s important to understand if you’re booking on the hot or cold side of the lake. The summer heat combined with the warm water side is something to consider.
Lake Anna State Park is a great adventure in itself, with a variety of cabin, camping and glamping options available. The hiking in and around the state park is gorgeous and there are 250 miles of shoreline around the massive lake, so you could spend days exploring the lake by paddleboard or kayak. If you happen to have a Civil War history buff in your family, there are also many historic attractions and sites nearby. Considering its location in central Virginia, and only an hour from Charlottesville, there is plenty to do.
