The main feature of Natural Bridge Park is of course Natural Bridge, which is one of Alabama's most incredible natural wonders.
This sandstone and ore bridge has a height of 60 feet and a length of 148 feet, making it the longest natural bridge east of the Rocky Mountains. Many experts believe this impressive bridge is more than 200-million-years-old.
