Lake Anna is very much in the center of Virginia which makes it a great spot to live or to spend time.  From Lake Anna you have the opportunity to quickly get to so many other areas from Northern Virginia to the Tidewater area to the southwest section of Virginia.   A convenient drive from Lake Anna takes you up to the D.C. metropolitan area with all the ethnic restaurants, cultural activities, museums, national monuments, and other major attractions.

Some consider Lake Anna to be in located in Central Virginia while others believe it is part of Northern Virginia.  Even the Commonwealth of Virginia has mixed feelings according to the two maps below.  As you will see, Louisa County is considered in Central Virginia while Spotsylvania is included in the Northern Virginia map on the office web site for the Commonwealth.  Lake Anna is bordered on one side by Louisa County with a very small portion of the lake located in Orange County and the other side of the lake is located in Spotsylvania.

The most important thing is that Lake Anna is in a great location.

From Lake Anna you can easily head west to the Shenandoah Valley, an area of Virginia known and admired across the nation.  It is every bit as beautiful as the pictures people have been seeing for years.  Seeing the Blue Ridge Mountains is another treat.  there are numerous small villages and hamlets where life is more like it was back in the 50's and 60's.  Shopping malls have not taken business away from downtown.  Main Street is where people do their shopping and catch up with one another.  Families have lived here for generations and enjoy the luxury of being friendly with their neighbors.

When you head east you have a variety of places to go.  Explore the Northern Neck, the Rappahannock River, down towards Williamsburg, a town with historical significance, and on to Norfolk and the Virginia Beach oceanfront.

Everywhere you go in Virginia you will find places of historical significance.  The Commonwealth is blessed with something for everyone.

When you live at Lake Anna all of these places are within easy reach.   That's just one more reason to enjoy Lake Anna if you live here.  If you do not, perhaps now is the time to seriously consider making the move.
