Hike the Trails at Fort Donelson NB
Fort Donelson National Battlefield
Immerse yourself in the beauty of the historic site by hiking the park trails. You may see migratory birds, bald eagles, and lovely native wildflowers. Lovely views of the Cumberland River/Barkley Lake may be seen as well.
Soak in the natural and cultural history by enjoying the park trails. There are four trails: the Donelson Trail, the River Circle Trail, the Spur Trail to the Cemetery, and the Graves Battery to French's Battery Trail. All trails are dirt, rocks, and tree roots. They vary in length, with moderate to strenuous sections. They can become slippery when muddy, so be careful of your footing. Each trail is appropriate for all ability levels and ages.
