A local contractor for Lakehouse Builders happened upon a newborn fawn that was stuck in a ditch.  Its mother was spotted across the road, but the fawn was panicked and couldn't move.  Michael Cummings leapt into action, rescued the fawn out of the steep gully and placed it across the road, where the mother was pacing frantically in the distance.  Mike stuck around to make sure the mother would reunite with the fawn.  Eventually, the mother came to nudge the little one up on its feet.  A happy ending today, thanks to someone who was excited to help.  

The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries is offering three full days of free fishing, June 7–9. Anyone can fish free in public waters around the state without having to buy a fishing license. Just remember, all fishing regulations still apply.

Lake Anna's largest fireworks display will take place on Saturday, July 6th at 9:15pm at Dike 2.  This is the 22nd annual display, which is organized by the Lake Anna Civic Association.  If there is inclement weather, the rain date will fall on Saturday, July 13th.  For up-to-the-minute details, LACA has set up a line with a message regarding the decision to cancel or proceed with the show at 540-693-0103.

Produced by Zambelli Fireworks, the show is a local favorite, drawing viewers from all over! It's splendidly choreographed, and well worth the trip. The show is funded by citizens and guests of the lake.  If you would like to make a donation, please send a check to:

The public display is free and located at Dike Two.  Unfortunately, there is  no parking available near the site.  The best vantage point is to see the show from a boat on the lake.

Lake Anna can be a fisherman's dream, but if you're not set up with your own boat or watercraft, a popular question is "Where can I fish Lake Anna?"  One solution for this query is the public fishing area at Dike 3.  Fishing license required, as always, and use caution as the water can be a bit rough in this area!  There is a large parking lot for your convenience.  The map below shows the general location of the spot.
