Heart of Virginia - VA
Enjoy both recreation and history while touring Virginia State Parks. It’s an affordable and fun experience you won’t want to miss. Use the following details and suggestions to guide your road trip. DAYS ONE & TWO: Bear Creek Lake State Park: Located in the heart of Cumberland County this is the perfect getaway for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors will enjoy the picturesque 40-acre lake complete with boat launch, fishing pier, boat rentals and swimming beach. The park offers 6 miles of hiking trails and access to biking and horseback riding on adjacent State Forest land. Well-appointed cabins and lodge are furnished with all the comforts of home, or enjoy getting back to basics around the campfire for the night with the family. DAY THREE: High Bridge Trail State Park: Nearby, in downtown Farmville, are trailheads for the 30-mile multi-use High Bridge Trail that runs through three counties and five towns in Central Virginia. The trail’s centerpiece is the majestic High Bridge. Once opened, it will be more than 2,400 feet long and 160 feet above the Appomattox River. The bridge was built in 1853 and a major battle took place when Confederate forces burned four spans of High Bridge, but failed to destroy the lower wagon bridge and Federal forces were able to continue pursuit of Lee’s army north of the Appomattox River. IN THE KNOW PIT STOPS: Follow the Civil War Trail’s Lee’s Retreat driving tour following the course of critical action on roads that were used April 2–9, 1865. Short-range radio messages at more than 26 waysides along the way explain the activity. Five of these stops on Lee’s Retreat are at Sailor’s Creek Battlefield Historical State Park in Amelia County. This historical park was the scene of the last major battle of the American Civil War.0 likes, 0 dislikes
