Natural Bridge State Park is located in Slade Kentucky, where visitors have been coming since 1889 to see this natural wonder. The Natural Bridge is sixty-five feet high, seventy-eight feet long and forty feet thick. It is composed of Pottsville Conglomeratic Sandstone and believed by some geologists to be a million years old. In 1889 the Kentucky Union Railway built trails and campgrounds for visitors to hike camp and enjoy this beautiful landscape. In 1926 the Louisville Nashville Railroad purchased the property and donated it to the Kentucky State Parks System The 2,369 acre State Park is surrounded by the Daniel Boone National Forest and offers more than twenty miles of hiking trails, camping facilities and many more recreational opportunities. This view is along one of the trails that lead to the Natural Bridge. |
