[4] The Park's primary attraction is a natural-arch rock formation that is 60 feet (18 m) high, 148 feet (45 m) long, and composed of sandstone and iron ore.[1] [2][5] The bridge is purported to be the longest natural arch east of the Rocky Mountains in North America.
A two-mile nature trail guides visitors beneath the arch and past nearby rock formations.
The Park includes picnic accommodations, an artesian well that supplies drinking fountains, a gift shop featuring hand-crafted items, 27 varieties of fern, and a stand of eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis)—a species that dates back to the Pleistocene epoch (approximately 2,580,000 to 11,700 years ago).
[1] It was formed by the New River eroding weaker sandstone away from the stronger stone bridge spans.
[7] Muscogee Creek Indians lived in this area, and they probably used the bridge-cave enclosure for shelter.
