Adjacent to the legendary Red River Gorge geologic area and surrounded by the Daniel Boone National Forest, there's a certain stunning Kentucky state park with incredibly comfortable accomodations waiting for you to explore.
The Natural Bridge State Resort Park is a geologically rich and ecologically fascinating place.
Home to over 150 natural limestone arches, including the natural bridge itself, this gorgeous state park has something for just about every explorer to fall head over heels in love with.
One can explore the Red River Gorge, or hike on any number of stunning trails around the park.
Mill Creek Lake stretches through the park, and boating, kayaking and canoeing are popular activities with visitors. There are plenty of fish to be caught, including but not limited to trout, sunfish, bass and bluegill.
There are several choices of places to stay: from the 35-room lodge on the grounds to the cozy, warm cottages.
The cottages are definitely our pick for coziest of all. With 11 different one-or-two bedroom options, the cottages each possess their own unique charms. For those with other preferences, there's also a 35-room lodge and 86 campsites available.
In the fall, visitors come from all over to witness the spectacle of autumn color.
Each one of the ten different hiking trails on the grounds takes explorers to various places in the park. The trails range in length from one-half to seven-and-a-half miles long, and all have varied degrees of difficulty.
Reserve one of the gorgeous cottages and take a stroll through the endless acres of natural wonderland, from the ancient limestone to waterfalls, streams and the crystalline lake.
Every season brings with it a plethora of beautiful perks- in the spring, new life leaps forward from the cold stillness of winter. In winter, a dusting of snow covers the park and icicles grace the edges of everything from the limestone to the stairways.
