Hiking Trails At Staunton River Battlefield State Park

Battlefield Trail

The Battlefield Trail is a 1.2 mile, easy multi-use trail that takes visitors from the Clover Center to the Roanoke Station in Randolph, crossing the bridge in the process. This wide flat trail lies mainly on the old railroad bed that was the main reason why the battle was fought here. While on the trail one will pass old trenches and earthworks, the fort, the field where the battle took place, and several interpretive signs that talk about different aspects of the fighting.
