Battle of Upperville | Goose Creek Bridge Historic Park

"Cool place but over grown, best to visit in spring or fall."

"Nice spot to walk in the woods. Has a little access to Goose Creek. Beautiful, historic Bridge. No facilities."

"For a nicer up-close view of the structure of this bridge, dating back to Thomas Jefferson's presidency, take the earthen stairs down to the field below and crossing it to admire the 300+ year old stone structure."

"Nice little park with a very historic and impressive bridge. I wanted to get a picture that showed the bridge from the side; however, you need to walk through some undergrowth and I was not dressed for it. you can walk out on the bridge, and there is a nice view from there. You just cannot see much of the bridge while you are on top of it."

"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."
