Lake Anna State Park

Lake Anna State Park

Lake Anna State Park is a state park in Virginia, located in Spotsylvania. Initially the site of the Goodwin Gold Mine - gold was first discovered at the site in 1829 - the land later played host to Lake Anna, created to serve as a coolant for Dominion Power's nearby nuclear power plant. Work to create the park began in 1972, and it opened formally in 1983.
