"For history buffs,"
otherwise it's just a big open space to run in, which is fine of itself. Other than the many monuments to military units and leaders, and its stately cemetery, there's not much evidence of the huge battle fought here in 1862. You can sort of get a feel for the way the armies swept each other back and forth to the bluff over the river, and there are still some barely noticeable earthworks. There's a grand overlook at the Tennessee River near the cemetery and welcome station. A good map and/or a knowledgeable guide would add a lot to the experience. The park's sort of a long way from anywhere, though; you'll have to intend to come here.
