Natural Bridge near the town of the same name in Virginia is the 215-foot tall natural limestone bridge over a gorge carved out by Cedar Creek. The park that surrounds this natural wonder is a mix of a beautiful forest and rolling meadows among the area’s rough karst terrain. The views of surrounding mountains and the James River valley are breathtaking. The park has over six miles of hiking trails, including the Cedar Creek Trail that runs from the bridge to the Monacan Indian Village and the 30-foot high Lace Falls with its magnificent cascade. The park rangers offer Living History programs that connect visitors to the past and show how people once lived in the area and used its resources for survival. The Visitor offers fascinating exhibits and a gift shop. The area was once owned by Thomas Jefferson and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
