Surrounded by tall Oak and Poplar trees 1mile off the Appalachian trail. Cars do fine driving into the spot to park. There is some wood around to burn to forage for. Lots of trails, breweries, wineries, rivers and such nearby. This is not good for toddlers but kids 6 and up will be fine. This property is better suited for experienced campers as it is primitive with limited amenities. Thank you and enjoy!
Great area to hike and tour by car. Near Harper's Ferry National Park.
This battlefield is not as developed as the other Harper's Ferry area battlefields but it gives a great perspective of the Confederates strategy at the time.
Nice walk. Path is in mostly grass with some mulchy bits and some muddy bits. The area around the ruins is wide open grassy plain with a nice mowed trail. Farther in has some gentle hills. Dogs are supposed to be on leash and owners are supposed to clean up but some people do not follow the rules. The CBP facility next door is doing a bunch of construction so your hike may have a soundtrack. Had a good time and a good walk for my girl healing from her knee surgery.
Lovely place to have a light hike. The walk is fairly easy, it's well kept, and there are some shaded areas where you could get a brake from the sun.
Beautiful trail, some in the sun, some in the shade. A few hills, but nothing serious. 4/5 due to seeing the townhouses and homeland security buildings from the ridge. Still, worth a stop and walk...2.7 miles nicely maintained trail.
