Alum Cove Natural Bridge Recreation Area — Attraction in Harrison

Beautiful place maintained by the US Forest Service. The trail was well maintained 98% of the time, there were just a few spots that were overgrown. Path can get narrow and a little challenging at times with the oddly shaped steps, but overall i would say it was an easy trail. Sadly we were the only one there, didn’t see other people hiking this trail. The natural bridge was absolutely worth seeing, the huge rock formations and how the water leaves its mark carving through it was amazing to see. We spent a while admiring nature’s work once we reached the bridge, exploring the openings and looking at the rocks. The trail was all shaded so it was quite nice. Lots of spider webs due to the narrow pathways, but not bad enough to stop you from moving, just mildly annoying. I also appreciated it being a loop where it gives you a different perspective of the natural bridge. Great parking lot and a nice clean restroom at the recreation area, we had a picnic here before we went on the trail. I wish more people would know about this...

This is great a quiet spot to enjoy sometime time in nature and see wonderful sites. The trail is winding a low intensity but is challenging for older people due to uneven terrain. The trail is right off the parking. There are a couple options on the trail you take. You can go across the natural bridge and follow the trail on the east side or you can turn left and go straight under the bridge. If you turn left you can go under the bridge then turn back and save walking. If you go across the bridge and keep walking you will wind down the hill to a bridge over a small stream then follow ups and downs around a loop past the huge cave and waterfall. We lost trail a little after the cave but found a less traveled trail to follow and got out. All in all it was wonderful, quiet,...

Great little trail. The trail isn't marked, but you can tell the way. It's an all climb up on the way back, but it inclined out zig zagging nicely. You do have to climb over some rocks. If you have balance issues, bring a walking stick. You can go on top of the bridge and just to the side of it, there is a trail to take you underneath. We just walked to that and back up and was .9miles. Our friends walked to the bottom and back up and said was 1.7miles. There are benches to stop at if you need rest. Also picnic benches if you would like to eat lunch there after. Compared to other trails, this was mild even though you are climbing back up to get out. We are in our mid 40's a walk the 10k steps everyday, but not...
