Review:
Named for the rare staurolite diamond-shaped crystals known as “fairy stones” that are found in the lake, Virginia's Fairy Stone Lake is a 168-acre lake set within the 4,741-acre Fairy Stone State Park.
Created by the Civilian Conservation Corps, Fairy Stone Lake Dam spills over into Philpott Lake and offers a wealth of land and water-based activities, from dozens of hiking and mountain biking trails, picnic areas, and swimming beaches to group camping areas, equestrian camping, and ranger-led programs for all ages.
Fairy Stone Lake is a popular fishing destination with an abundance of bluegill, black crappie, largemouth bass, and redear sunfish. Fairy Stone Lake is situated near the Blue Ridge Parkway in Patrick County and is close to the towns of Floyd, Meadows of Dan, Rocky Mount, and Stuart.
