The fairy stone crosses are still sold today in the park and at nearby stores and service stations. Visitors can also search for their own fairy stones in the park along walking trails and old creek beds after hard rains have scoured away loose soil. Fairy Stone State Park lies in the gentle foothills of the Blue Ridge in Henry and Patrick counties. It opened in 1936 and was one of Virginia's original six state parks built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. The 168-acre Fairy Stone Lake is the park's centerpiece.
Visitors can fish for bass, sunfish, channel catfish, and crappie.
