Fairy Stone State Park

 





Here is Fairy Stone State Park located not too far from the previous post at Philpott Lake. The campground is heavily wooded, providing a bit of privacy from adjacent sites. There are quite a few campgrounds nearby including Goose Point Recreation Area. The beach area is quite expansive and has plenty of places to explore.

Philpott Lake

 





This is the Philpott Dam and Visitor Center for Philpott Lake in Virginia. A PDF is available for a map of the area. The Visitor Center is located on a ridge above the dam, providing a lovely view of both the dam and reservoir behind it. On the other side of Philpott Lake is Salthouse Branch Park I provided some pictures of in this post here

Fred Clifton Park at Lovers Leap Overlook

 





This is Fred Clifton Park at Lovers Leap Overlook, a favorite location of mine. This location is changing dramatically as time moves forward in time, as the US 58 expansion project is turning the old 2-lane road into a 4-lane highway. More pictures of this location can be found here in this post from January 1.
