Bull Run (Occoquan River)

Bull Run is a free-flowing tributary stream of the Potomac River that originates from a spring in the Bull Run Mountains in Loudoun County, Virginia and flows south to the Occoquan River. Bull Run serves as the boundary between Loudoun County and Prince William County, and between Fairfax County and Prince William County.Bull Run is primarily associated with two battles of the American Civil War: the First Battle of Bull Run and the Second Battle of Bull Run. A narrow part called Yates Ford (near Manassas) is the scene of the Battle of Occoquan, and, downstream about one mile, is the current Yates Ford Road bridge between Fairfax and Prince William Counties.
