This is a pretty neat historical spot!

There is a trash can and 2 picnic tables. No bathrooms.

It’s definitely a drop in and out little state park.

If you are already out that way and just exploring or taking in new sites then it is great but other than that I would not make the trip again unless I am already in the area and maybe wanting to have a picnic. I don’t know why there are so many inaccurate photos linked to this site but they are very misleading. It is just an open field with a few picnic tables and then right next to them you will find this stone and a Little Rock wall that was built around the head spring. It is beautiful don’t get me wrong but not so much that it is worth a long trip to get to. This Sunday was my first time to this site. We have driven past it many different times and was excited to make a stop by there while we were out riding the Harley. I am glad that I stopped and got to see what this was about but at the same time I was very disappointed because it is not at all what you would expect. It is a very peaceful place though and nice for those of us that enjoy nature.

An interesting bit of history that I learned about a long time ago in school. The Fairfax Stone was great to see and it doubles as the head spring to the Potomac River. Plus a neat little area to have a picnic and walk the dog. Not too far off of the beaten path and a nice place to visit.

There isn't much to it. Nice little stop if you're in the area.

Very rundown. Needs cleaned up
