Natural Bridge State Park

The walking path to see the bridge was fantastic. In order to get to the bridge, you could either take a shuttle down to the path, or take the stairs. There is a very nice stream flowing next to the stairs on the way down, so I'd suggest that you take the stairs down to see this, and take the shuttle back up if you happen to be too tired to walk back up. The bridge itself was fantastic to see, and the walking path was in good condition too. I loved the stream/small river flowing all the way down, and there's also a few places to sit and enjoy watching and hearing it. At the end of the path, there's a small waterfall, which was also great. I'd definitely recommend this place, especially considering that it only costs $8 per person.

Awesome park with LOTS of scenery and history. Staff all friendly from the wonderful gift shop to the Indian village staff to the park ranger, very informative and answered all our questions. Ensure you take water with you and hit the bathroom prior to the trails, bring your camera! Loved that dogs were allowed, ours took a dip in the river to cool off. Lots of fun! Love to come again and check it out in the evening lit up.

Absolutely stunning. This wonderful State Park is home to the famous Natural Bridge, an ancient formation that has captivated visitors since the early days. Absolutely worth the trip. In addition to the very well maintained trail that leads to the Natural Bridge, the Park is home to an interpretive exhibit that showcases the early Indian civilization of the region. There is a great snack bar, gift shop and educational exhibits. A complementary bus will take you down to the trail if you can't or don't want to take the stairs along the river. The bridge is breathtaking and is rumored to bear the initials of George Washington, who is purported to have surveyed the site. The staff is very friendly and can help visiting guests better understand the history of the site and surrounding areas. Ample parking, handicapped accessible facilities and trail.

Such an awesome park with an amazing natural rock formation! My favorite part was the fact that a young George Washington climbed up part of Natural Bridge and inscribed his initials, really a great piece of historical trivia. Also, Thomas Jefferson bought hundreds of acres surrounding this natural wonder for about $2.70! And they have a great small re-created Native American camp that you can walk through, and there are some guides to answer your questions! Really a breathtaking and fun experience!

A very nice easy and paved trail that starts from the back of the fancy welcome center. It's a 2-mile walk round trip along a rushing creek and under the natural bridge. George Washington's initials were carved by him at the bottom of the bridge when he surveyed it when he was only 17. The trail ends at a small waterfall. There is also an open cave that's about fifty feet deep with some interesting rock edges. A small guide-attended Indian settlement is also built there to enjoy and learn a bit of history from. Plenty of benches and tables provide visitors plenty of opportunities to rest and enjoy the lovely scenery. The welcome center includes a restaurant, a large gift shop and a staffed information desk.
