Summary

{This is a new series of hikes I'm trying out for those that can't meet on Sundays.  It will be on the 3rd Saturday of the month.  Lunch Location TBD after the Hike}

We did this hike this past summer so I thought it would be interesting to do the hike in winter.  Come join us for a winter hike along the banks of Lake Anna.  We'll stop by an old smoke house which was part of a plantation in the 1800s.  We'll have a snack on the shores of Laka Anna at one of the picnic tables.

The hike will last 2 hours and cover about 6 easy miles with plenty of places to rest. 

BRING: Water or a hot beverage plus snacks.  Park Info:  http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/state-parks/lake-anna#general_information?

Driving directions to the location and spot to meet at:

Use your GPS and head to 6800 Lawyers Road, Spotsylvania, VA 22551.  We'll meet at the small parking, just a 1/2 mile from the Park Office (not to be confused with the entrance gatehouse or Contact Station).

After paying your entrance fee, drive down State Park Lane towards the Park Office.  When you see the Park Office or the sign for it, drive past it about a hundred feet or so and take a left at the NEXT ROAD.  Drive down approximately 1/2 mile to the small parking lot which will be on your right (The P on the map) where Mill Pond and Turkey Run trails meet.  Look for a White Honda Accord or Light Green Subaru Forester.  Cell service is spotty in the park so trying to call if you are lost or late could be a problem.
