Natural Bridge State Resort Park is a Kentucky state park located in Powell and Wolfe Counties along the Middle Fork of the Red River, adjacent to the Red River Gorge Geologic Area and surrounded by the Daniel Boone National Forest.

In 1981, this land was dedicated into the nature preserves system to protect the ecological communities and rare species habitat.

The first federally endangered Virginia big-eared bats, Corynorhinus townsendii virginianus, recorded in Kentucky were found at Natural Bridge State Resort Park in the 1950s.

In addition to these trails, a paid ski lift attraction is available to take people to the top of the Natural Bridge.

This formation is one of the biggest and most perfectly formed examples of a pedestal rock east of the Rocky Mountains.

We incorporate research and support efforts to identify and protect endangered, threatened, and rare native plant species," says KNPS.ORG.
