Published 12:32 pm Tuesday, September 22, 2015
This fall season High Bridge Trail State Park will present a series of guided tours on the Prince Edward County shore of the Appomattox River below the soaring spectacle of High Bridge. The walks will be held at 2 p.m. on this Sunday; Oct. 3; Oct. 11; Oct. 24 and Oct. 25. Meet a guide at the western approach to High Bridge and cross to access the river from the Prince Edward side where the most significant action occurred during the Second Battle for High Bridge. It is in this section of bottomland that a scene of desperation unfolded 150 years ago. The total round trip distance is 4 miles. Start at the River Road parking area 30 minutes before the program. Plenty of water and closed toe shoes are a must. Long pants are recommended; treat clothes and hat with bug spray. Part of the trail will be steep.
