Equestrian Lot Temporarily Moving

All road work being performed at Petersburg National Battlefield by the Federal Highways Administration has been completed and the Equestrian Parking Lot behind the Park Headquarters building is open for equestrian visitors.

A new parking lot and trailhead for non-equestrian visitors is now open. The lot is located on the left hand side approximately 0.3 miles down Hickory Hill Rd. from the County Drive intersection. For Google Maps use the address: 1433 Hickory Hill Rd., Petersburg, VA 23803. Unfortunately, MapQuest does not show the location of the lot.

All visitors to the park must posses a valid park pass.
