Natural Bridge State Park
Natural Bridge
A limestone natural arch about 65 m high. It was once surveyed by George Washington and owned by Thomas Jefferson, and is now a US National Historic Landmark.
The natural bridge was formed as Cedar Creek cut through the limestone. It stands about 65 m high and spans 27 m, with US Route 11 running across the top. Along the Cedar Creek trail, you can walk to the base of the bridge and continue on to the Monacan Indian Village and Lace Falls, about 3 km round trip. Adult admission is about $9. It is about 55 km from Roanoke, roughly a 45-minute drive along Interstate 81.
