The immensity is startling…Natural Wonder, Natural Beauty. 215 feet of solid rock, carved by the fingers of nature, span the steep ravine over Cedar Creek at Virginia’s Natural Bridge State Park.

George Washington surveyed the rock bridge, and Thomas Jefferson liked it so much he purchased it from King George III in 1774. Experience “the most sublime of nature’s works” –Thomas Jefferson.

Elevate your senses as you walk the path of patriots, the beautiful and serene Cedar Creek Trail, past Saltpeter Cave and Lost River, to Lace Falls. Stop to explore the history of Virginia’s Native Americans in the Monacan Indian Village. See the spectacular Drama of Creation, under the Bridge after sunset.

Drama of Creation

During the night pageant, the mountain sides form a vast stage. Scenes move and change with a presentation of the drama of creation, accompanied by classical music and moving lighting effects.

Journey Back 300 Years
