Fairfax Stone State Park serves as a historical landmark and the head spring of the Potomac River. Nestled in the scenic landscape of West Virginia’s northern region, this park is a notable stop for those interested in regional history. Visitors will find picnic tables scattered across the area, allowing for a tranquil outdoor experience. Although the park has limited amenities and is primarily an open field, it offers a peaceful atmosphere for relaxation. It’s also a quiet spot for stargazing, providing dark skies away from city lights. The Fairfax Stone itself, marked with a plaque, tells the story of land ownership in the 1740s, adding a touch of historical significance to the visit.
