Battle of Upperville | Goose Creek Bridge Historic Park

Peaceful. This is a great spot to stop to eat lunch, it's only about 30 seconds off of Rt 50, so it's not out of the way.

Good public access point to Goose Creek. Waist deep water, nice places to get wet when its sweltering

Great location for a stroll where you find peace

Really cool historical site. If your in the vicinity it's a nice quick stroll. Dogs are actually welcome

This park is easily missed. Hidden from view, it has quite a bit of history. When I arrived at the park, I reached a dead end, and the park appeared to be closed permanently. The park is on the right, and the entrances were locked. Between the 2 entrances, there is a small parking area that will accommodate 3 cars. I took the 2nd entrance, one that is after the parking area, there is a small narrow trail on the left of the path that is not part of the park. I stayed on my path that took me onto the bridge. The field trees on the left looked dead, felt a bit morbid. Once I reached the middle of the bridge, I got a great view of the Goose Creek on the left, and on the right is the small field. I kept walking until I reached the other entrance, and the gate was on the ground. There is where I turned around, even though the path continues and ends at the main road. On the way back to my car, I took the trail on the left after the small field. It took me to the historic sign and a view of the bridge, where I was, across the field. If you want to walk on the field to the bottom of the bridge, I guess you can do that. I didn't because I'm not sure what kind of bugs might be in the grass, because the field is sunken, and it could be filled with rain water if it rains a lot. Plus, the bottom of the bridge appears to be kind of creepy. I'm not that curious. This park is a nice little stop if you happen to be in the area, but I would drive from far away just to visit this park. Across from the park is a pasture with black cows. So cute. That is my favorite part of my visit.
