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, and it’s one of our favorite hidden gems in Stuart, Virginia. To get there, you’ll take a marvelous four-mile trail that offers exquisite scenery at every turn. Ready to start exploring one of the best state parks in Virginia? Let’s go!?
