Hike Summary:	This is a fabulous trail that combines Civil War history with an easy beautiful hike. The trail starts at a memorial to the men who fought in this battle. All along this trail you will run into interpretive signs that tell you what happened during the battle. The trail takes you along an old road up the mountain, to the trenches the men laid and fought in, to the forts where the wall still stand, and then along the old railroad bed by the lake. Absolutely fantastic trail for a lazy stroll. Only one strenuous section up stairs to a fort. But it is extremely short and well worth the climb 🙂
