Most if not all of the major battles fought during the Civil War were fought in National Parks.
I did not know this...

funny, I didn't realize Atlanta was a park...
I assume you meant they were fought in what became national parks.

Sarcasm seems to escape you.
Which nation?

Our major battle was in the water, but it did get a major bridge-tunnel system named after it.
National zoo.
They had plenty of wagon parking space.

O
And not only that-
Many of the large Indian Ruins were built far from the Highways.
Like Chaco. A must see, tremendous locale.
The road in will test your teeth fillings.
Pueblo Pintado is an outlying site which is also quite remarkable.
The 4.5 miles (7 km) before entering the park are very rough. From the south, two routes access Chaco from Highway 9, which runs between Crownpoint, Pueblo Pintado, and Cuba. Both routes can vary from very rough to impassable. These routes are not recommended for RVs.

Wish I could find that meme that says something like:
This is Scary - Look how close that meteor came to hitting the visitor's center.

I grew within 5 miles of what is now Wilson's Creek National Battlefield. Even in the 60s/70s it was not unusual for farmers or backhoe operators to turn up Civil War weaponry, munitions, or military gear in that small area.
I heard all kinds of stuff about it after it became a national battlefield, but tripped over some eyewitness accounting in a book built from a Confederate officer's daily reports - it was fascinating to read about land that I knew as seen by a combatant commander.
Robert Patrick Bender has rescued a well-written account from archival oblivion and brought this well-educated, perceptive and opinionated historical character back to life. From Wilson's Creek to Bentonville, Reynolds provides a personal testimonial to the fighting spirit of his fellow Arkansans and a valuable historical record of the war in the West.

and if there was any good fishing in the area ?

Maybe if we rename all of the parks and get rid of all the statues and memorials,, The Civil War will never have happened???
Several years ago we were visiting Gettysburg. While on Little Roundtop I was looking at the memorial for the 44th NY when I heard a teenage boy say: it must have been handy having this castle on top of Little Roundtop during the battle. His friends agreed with him.
Reminded me why we did not have our kids in public school at the time.

That's the one.
I'm reading a fascinating book "The First Alabama Cavalry".
