The Stonewall Jackson Lake State Park has more to
offer than meets the eye. The Visitors Center beneath
the Stonewall Jackson Dam is full of interesting displays
and information from around the area. The foot of the
dam is also an excellent fishing hole, especially for trout.
There are many superb fishing spots/holes on and
around the lake, allowing you to enjoy year-round fish-
ing, so bring your boat or rent one at the marina.
For the hunter in you, the park also offers public hunting
lands, perfect for obtaining that trophy buck, squirrel,
duck, bear or turkey. Not to mention that this park has
some of the most picturesque scenery in our state. The
park is also home to Stonewall Resort, The Briar Point
Campground, and The Stonewall Marina.
