Stonewall Golf Resort is located within Stonewall Jackson Lake State Park in Roanoke, WV near Weston.

Directions: Take exit 91 from I-79. Turn onto Rt 19 south towards Roanoke. Travel past the turn in to the resort. Cross the bridge and turn left at the "hunter access" and maintenance signs. Park to the left at the signs for "overlook trail". You are in the state park but not the resort. Trail maps are available at the lodge and on line. If you travel into the resort you may be stopped at an entrance booth. Tell them you are checking into the lodge or playing golf.

The sign claims that the trail is 1 mile. It did not seem that long but not sure of the distance. It is a mowed grass/gravel trail with small up and down hill rises.

Take the trail to the overlook. It will go in an arc near the road you were just on. Eventually they seperate. At one point you will be near Rt. 19 and will be able to see the bridge and park/resort entrance. Enjoy the view from the top of the knoll. The overlook has two benches and a semicircular wall.

As you return down the knoll notice the area near Rt. 19 again. As this begins to climb again and leave the road behind (around 300 large steps) you will be close to your goal. Stop next to the first tree on the left which is about 6 steps off the trail, as you start up the slope. Look down the hill into the woods to the next tree. The box is under rocks on the downhill side of the tree.

TO MAKE THIS A DRIVEBY:
Turn around at the parking lot. Turn right back on to US 19 North. Park just past the blue "Adopt a Highway" sign on the road shoulder. From here you are around 20-30 yards from the trail in the opening mentioned above.
