Fairy Stone Lake

Fairy Stone Lake is a 168-acre lake situated in Fairy Stone State Park located in Patrick County, southwest Virginia. The lake is known for its unique stone formations that are shaped like crosses, which are referred to as "fairy stones." These stones are composed of staurolite minerals and are believed to have been formed millions of years ago during the Appalachian orogeny. Visitors can enjoy hiking, fishing, swimming, water sports, and camping in the park. The park also hosts an annual Fairy Stone Festival where visitors can learn about the legend of the fairy stones and participate in various activities.
