    A visit to Lake Shannon is always a good idea. Going for a hike along the Gracik Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this vicinity, and Caroline Pines Lake is a nearby lake that you could pop by. You'll meet a lot of people from Richmond here; North Anna River has a splendid whitewater paddling spot nearby. This lake is so wonderful. Don't miss out on a journey to Fort Washington Park if you're here at Lake Shannon, and camping is available at Paramount's  
   Kings Dominion Campground.
You believe that's enough? Just getting warmed up. This lake is so wonderful. If the weather is great here at Lake Shannon, you can go for a hike along the Sawdust Trail, and Caroline Pines Dam has great water scenery. Why not camp at Americamps Best Holiday Trav-L-Park while you're here at Lake Shannon, and in the event that you don’t have a problem getting wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Little River - North Anna Tributary.
