For those of us within an easy commute of Lake Anna State Park it is wonderful to have the opportunity to visit and take part in a number of activities that are both fun and educational.
(For those of you who live too far away for a day trip come back as I'll be writing a post soon about the great camping facilities at the park and the cabins you can rent.)
If you have not done so as yet, take advantage of this great resource and plan to spend some time in this beautiful natural setting.
Be sure to take a look to see which of these many offerings you would like to attend. You may find it difficult to choose. If that's the case, simply sign up for everything and have a great time.
