Fairy Stone State Park — the name alone sounds magical, doesn’t it? This beautiful state park is home to the namesake fairy stones, small cross-shaped rocks that can be found in various parts of the park. But that’s not all the Fairy Stone State Park has to offer. It’s also hiding a little-known waterfall in Virginia. To get there, you’ll take a marvelous four-mile trail that offers exquisite scenery at every turn. Ready to start exploring?
Welcome to the lovely Fairy Stone State Park! The largest of Virginia's original six state parks, this destination offers no shortage of adventures.
The 4.3-mile loop is considered to be moderately challenging, although most hikers agree that it's appropriate for the whole family, except maybe the littlest explorers.
One of the main highlights is, of course, the waterfall! During the spring it's quite an impressive sight to see, but even with less water, it's still a gorgeous little falls.
