Petersburg National Battlefield Park

Travel | Petersburg National Battlefield Park

Petersburg National Battlefield Park was my second national park stop while traveling to and from North Carolina in June. I arrived during the late afternoon and storm clouds were rolling in and out of the area.

Hiking Options

There are two distinct trail areas in the park: Eastern Front and Five Forks. Given the multiple options for hiking trails, I recommend taking a look at each respective map and planning your path based on the sights you wish to see. Most of the trails are relatively short with easy to moderate endurance required.

Whether you are looking to visit the park on foot, horse, bicycle or in your car, options abound.
