Description
This is one trail that cuts the park in half. You can access this trail from the Friend Trail around marker M, but another end of the trail is located a map marker N, while a third access point is located at marker T, which is the Taylor's Creek Trail and Encampment Trail crossing point. You'll want to keep this trail in mind if you ever want to cut your Petersburg Battlefield Trail short.
