The park is situated near the Gorgo de la Escalera, a deep limestone canyon carved by the Anna river.

The island in the center of the lake is a protected habitat for various species of ducks and local aquatic bird life.
Anna's Lake, locally known as Lago de Anna, is a freshwater lake fed by natural springs located in the municipality of Anna, Valencia. The site features a central island accessible by a pedestrian bridge and is surrounded by dense vegetation, including plane trees and weeping willows. The lake serves as a cooling microclimate area, with temperatures significantly lower than the surrounding Mediterranean plains. Visitors can utilize designated areas for camping and picnic activities integrated into the park landscape. The water remains at a constant temperature year-round due to the continuous flow from the Gorgo de la Escalera and surrounding aquifers. The surrounding trails provide access to historical irrigation remnants and local flora. It is managed as a recreational nature park with infrastructure to support sustainable outdoor tourism.
