Bloody Lane Trail

The Bloody Lane Trail begins at the New York State Monument and ends near the cannon behind the visitor center. The length of the hike is 1.5 miles and should take about sixty to ninety minutes to complete. For a short section, the trail overlaps the park’s school education trail. The trail takes visitors through the open fields of the Antietam National Battlefield near Sharpsburg MD, the site of one of the deadliest battles in the U.S. Civil War. There are a number of historical points of interest along the trail.
