Lees Confederate Command Post.Small little area up a trail of about a twenty minute hike.Theres a few plagues, and small structure that has a fair amount of information, lined with a couple of cannons in the direction of Lees vantage point.A pretty incredible place to stand, especially, because it is here in which Lee was nearly struck down by a Confederate cannon that had exploded. Think, of the consequences of such an incident, but it was not to be. Not yet our time, gentlemen. Not yet our time...A great place to simply stand and feel the historic atmosphere.Viewpoint, is obstructed by overgrowth. I wish it was somehow more of the view of what Lee and his commanders would have actually seen, but, nonetheless this spot is worth the walk and stop.

Short (but pretty steep) hike up to Confederate General Robert E Lee’s command post. Decent amount of information about the spot and the cannons located there. There really isn’t much of a view anymore due to trees.

Nice 15-minute walk up a paved trail. Trail is fairly steep and bumpy, but we were able to get a stroller to the top.

Great for Civil War buffs. Google maps may take you to the wrong place. Lees Lane had a small roadside parking area. 20 to 30 round trip walk to the top of Lees hill. Good signage on the battle. Stop 3 on the driving tour.

Interesting part of the overall Civil War tour, a bit of a climb if you are out of shape. Not a whole lot to see once you get to the top.

I advise you drive the entire road & read 2 learn what took place..All history is important bad or good..Some people have forgotten Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy & this state & country was forged by the American & Civil war...

A short .25 mile trail leads to this point of interest atop a hill from which Robert E. Lee commanded his army during the Battle of Fredericksburg. The site (a part of the Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania NMP) offers preserved earthworks, interpretive outdoor maps and exhibits, as well as the vantage point from which Lee witnessed the repeated Union advances at the famous Sunken Road.
