Manassas National Battlefield Park
Mantissas National Battlefield Park’s 4,400 acres acres are “characterized by gently rolling hills with a patchwork of open fields and forests.” Audubon Society has named it a Northern Virginia Birding Hotspot. “The park has developed a series of loop trails that traverse key areas of the First and Second Manassas Battlefields. ” Thank you to Bryan Gorsira with the Park Service who wrote to tell me of new accessible trails at Manassas. From Bryan: “The Brownsville picnic area is located in the south western portion of the park and has a large parking lot, accessible restroom facilities, and a covered pavilion with accessible picnic tables, and a ¼ mile wheelchair accessible natural resource education trail. ”
