Travel | Richmond National Battlefield Park

My visit to Richmond National Battlefield Park was brief due to severe thunderstorms. I managed to speak with the park ranger, grab a map and take a short drive in my car before the skies opened up.

Recommended Hikes/Trails

There are a handful of short interpretive trails within the various battlefields. Each one is designated with a trail symbol on the park map.

  • Beaver Dam Creek

  • Cold Harbor Visitor Center

  • Drewry's Bluff

  • Fort Brady

  • Fort Harrison Visitor Center

  • Gaines' Mill

  • Garthright House

  • Malvern Hill

  • Parker's Battery

Auto Tour

A complete tour of the park covers 80 miles and will likely take an entire day to explore the many stops. Please use the official park map for directions and reference. If time is limited, the following four locations should be at the top of your list:

  • Cold Harbor battlefields

  • Gaines' Mill battlefield and visitor center

  • Malvern Hill battlefield

  • Tredegar Iron Works visitor center
