How to get to Stonewall Jackson Lake State Park
The park is reached by exiting Interstate 79 near Roanoke, West Virginia, roughly 10 to 15 minutes south of Weston and about an hour and 15 minutes south of Morgantown. Charleston is approximately 90 minutes to the southwest and Pittsburgh about 3 hours to the north, both reasonable long-weekend drives.
