Park History

Stonewall Resort State Park is one of West Virginia’s newest state parks. The park and lake were completed in 1990 as a project of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which purchased the property to build a flood control dam. The lake and state park are named after Confederate General Stonewall Jackson, who was born in Clarksburg and raised in nearby Jackson’s Mill. Since 2002, Stonewall Resort has been operated by a private developer in partnership with the state.
