Ball's Bluff Battlefield

Nestled inside a Leesburg residential development along the Potomac River in scenic Loudoun County, the Ball's Bluff Battlefield Regional Park is an important stop for historians, hikers, and Civil War enthusiasts.  Recently restored, a variety of hiking trails, interpretive markers and a small cemetery make visiting Ball's Bluff a can't-miss experience.
