who won the first battle of the civil war at bull run?
union victory
during the early years of the american civil war, the bull run/occoquan river formed the boundary of the "alexandria line", which confederate forces established to protect their capitol from union advances before the first battle of bull run. a skirmish occurred near blackburn's ford along the upper part of this trail on july 18, 1861. between blackburn's ford and union mills, the former southern railway trestle over pope's head creek is visible; the upper structure was burned several times during the multi-year conflict. an earthen fort constructed to protect another ford can still be seen at little rocky run. lands surrounding the trail are now subject to 5-acre zoning, so the roads to the five major trailheads (bull run regional park, route 28, hemlock overlook regional park, bull run marina and fountainhead regional park) retain a semi-rural character.
