Update: regrettably, the park has proved unable to accommodate an orienteering event on this weekend and this inability made itself manifest later than would have easily allowed us to substitute a different venue. Until further notice, please assume there will be no local orienteering event on this weekend.
Balls Bluff Battlefield Park is the site of the first Civil War battle in Loudoun County (1861). The park has recently undergone restoration to more accurately reflect its 1861 condition, and you are encouraged to tour the area and its National Cemetery near the Potomac River.
Any youth or large groups attending, please contact the Event Director [2] so that we can coordinate pre-registration for your group; the group registration and waiver form [3] is part of the information on our Group Leaders [4] page.
