Guides will lead visitors over easy walking terrain and present facts about the battle, its significance in U.S. history and the personalities of the Union and Confederate leaders. Ball's Bluff Regional Park is open daily, year-round. Visitors may walk the trails and view interpretive signs along the way.
Admission is free.
