Lake Anna’s Golden Treasure

You know Lake Anna is a great place for boating, swimming and fishing.   But did you know it is also a great place to look for gold?   That’s right, the land in Lake Anna State Park used to be known as “Gold Hill” and contained the Goodwin Gold Mine.

Gold was first discovered on the site in 1829 and mined through the 1880s.    While the mine was abandoned hundreds of years ago, it has not been forgotten.

Today the Lake Anna State Park features miles of hiking trails, including the Gold Hill trail where you can see the remains of the gold mine.     If you’re looking for your own treasure you can sign up for programs including panning for gold and gold mine tours.

To read more about the history of Lake Anna, the Goodwin Gold Mine or to sign up for a tour visit the park’s web site.
