However, a shorter pathway is available from the Church parking lot and is fairly flat. There's a 6-8 percent incline between numbers 1 and 5 along the interpretive path; it is accessible by wheelchair. There are no ramps. At the start and end of the trail, there are accessible restrooms. There are three places to sit (benches) along the way.
Civil War Battlefield Trail:
The 2.3 mile long Civil War battlefield trail has a 1/4-mile accessible portion that starts at the trailhead and is straight with a slight grade. The trail is hard-packed earth covered with light gravel. Benches are located at the end of the trail. **Currently, the the accessible portion of the trail is damaged in some places. Please be extra careful and watch your step as you walk along this portion.**
