Natural Bridge State Resort Park


We visited this Natural Bridge first. We had been told it was a beautiful place to visit in the fall because of all the colours and it was. We could not find an information center when we first arrived so we headed out on the instructions we had from a friend. We found our way around OK and enjoyed ourselves. We did find an information place after this first walk and read about all the venomous snakes and what do to in a bear encounter! During our next few walks one of the children were often heard saying, "What was that, did you see that?" Despite the chance of coming across an animal that you would rather not see up close it was a wonderful day and a beautiful place.

The bridge from underneath.


Getting to the bridge.



The view from the Natural Bridge. We also found out later that an average of 40 people a year fall from one of these formations and 2 are killed. It was a pretty long way down and no barriers in sight to stop you from falling.

This was taken from a lookout looking back towards the bridge which is in the far left corner.

A pretty impressive view, especially with all the fall colours.
