Paddleboarding in Lake Anne, Virginia
Intro
Lake Anne in Reston, VA is my favorite place to paddle. The water is calm, there is no boat traffic and it is anchored by Lake Anne Plaza with a variety of shops, restaurants and merchants.Lake View Photo: By Kit Case - Lake Anne Morning., CC BY-SA 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=60255414
Highlights
Lake Anne was the first Village Center built as part of Robert E. Simon’s (the "RES" in Reston) planned community, Reston. Today the Plaza sits in a Historic Overlay District, and is home to a diverse and vibrant community.
On Thursday nights and weekends you can paddle down and listen to live music from the water, visit the farmers market on Saturdays. In August there is a Cardboard Box Regatta and in September there is a SUP Triathlon.
