Tonto Natural Bridge State Park showcases the world’s largest natural travertine bridge, which spans the length of a 400-foot tunnel and reaches 150 feet wide by 183 feet high. The natural bridge was originally discovered in 1877 by pioneer David Gowan, who constructed a lodge that housed members of his family until 1948 and is preserved on the National Register of Historic Places today.

A variety of trails are offered throughout the park surrounding the bridge, including the 0.5-mile Pine Creek and Gowan Trails and the Waterfall Trail, which showcases a waterfall cave at its end. Picnic tables and a recreation area are also offered, along with a gift shop for visitors. The park’s Goodfellow Lodge may be rented for private special events, including weddings and overnight groups.
