Small Town – Big Charm
Images and editorial supplied by Louisa County Parks, Recreation & Tourism
Located in the heart of Central Virginia, Louisa County is a four-season community defined by both rural beauty and historic charm. It is home to Lake Anna, one of Virginia’s largest freshwater inland lakes, and is filled with country roads, rivers, streams, farmlands and rolling hills.
Outdoor Recreation
For those with a taste for the outdoors, begin your journey with us on the serene waters of Lake Anna where you will find yourself simply relaxing or fishing, swimming, kayaking, water skiing, tubing or canoeing. Discover the beauty of Louisa’s rolling hills and countryside that offer a wide variety of recreational activities. Then, take the little ones to our playgrounds and dog-friendly parks.
Historical Sites
Just a short drive from Lake Anna, you can explore scenic attractions such as the Historic Courthouse in downtown Louisa. Ride or walk the equestrian trails on the original grounds of the Battle of Trevilian Station – the largest all-Calvary battle during the Civil War – or visit the Sargeant Museum to see exhibits like Native People of Louisa and the American Revolution. Be sure to not miss the annual Jack Jouett Day Festival where visitors are transported back in time through historical demonstrations.
Dining, Shows & More
There are many family-friendly activities, local attractions, dining venues, breweries, cideries, and award-winning wineries that are sure to offer you hours of entertainment. Experience the eloquence and quality of a Broadway show in the setting of a rural community at the Louisa Arts Center – the epicenter of performance, visual, musical and cultural arts in Louisa.
Year-Round Activities
The last weekend in July, you will be sure to enjoy the Louisa County Fair, an old-fashioned event with many farm animals, antique farm equipment, games, food and entertainment. We close out the summer with our new Louisa Labor Fest event and as the weather cools down, our annual Fall Harvest Festival in October is the place to experience the best of Louisa. We wrap up the year with holiday events including the Lighted Boat Parade.
Where to Stay
Wind down after a full day of adventure in one of our beautifully restored historical bed & breakfasts, or continue your adventure with the activities at our family-friendly campsites. You can also stay at Lake Anna in a breathtaking waterfront vacation rental or the new Boardwalk Hotel.
