Natural Bridge State Natural Area & Trailhead - Head of the Crow State Park — Attraction in Winchester

The Sewanee Natural Bridge is an hours drive from both Nashville and Chattanooga.. located in Franklin County, Tennessee it is the largest natural bridge in the southern section of the Cumberland Plateau. At 25 feet high and 50 feet wide, it's essentially a giant sinkhole that has partially eroded to form a large stone bridge.

Natural Bridge State Natural Area includes a small parking lot just off of Highway 56. On the day that we visited, there were several cars present, but still plenty of room to park. From the parking lot, the trail includes stairs and the distance to the natural bridge itself was only 0.1 miles.

As you descend the stairs you find yourself on top of the natural bridge despite it being narrow, it is easy to navigate across though it's certainly a long way down so caution is recommended with small children.

Once across you go down the slope into the "bowl" and can get your first great view of the natural bridge where you can then explore.

Best to find a local person to direct you to the main walking path beginning as it is not easy to find. There are several ways to get to the top. We only took one. No tickets are needed as this is a free adventure. There MAY be a charge for using the lift. I cannot tell you as we did not use...

This is a great little park. I came here last year but I did not hike down to the bridge because I was pressed for time. This time I planned to have enough time. Well, the hike was about two minutes long. It is just barely off of the parking area. But it is beautiful. It is worth an hour hike or more. It is really accessible. You can easily reach all of the interesting parts. I was the only person there and it was...
