How to get to Fairfax Stone State Park
The park sits in a remote corner of Tucker County, roughly a 25 to 30 minute drive from Thomas and Davis, West Virginia, and about 1 hour from Elkins. From the Washington, D.C. area expect a drive of about 3.5 to 4 hours, and from Pittsburgh about 3 hours. Access is via narrow, winding mountain roads with steep grades and limited shoulders, so larger motorhomes and long trailers should scout routes carefully and avoid travel in ice or snow. The nearest regional airports for fly-and-rent trips are Morgantown Municipal and Elkins-Randolph County, with Pittsburgh International offering the widest service.
