Alabama is full of scenic views and gorgeous landscapes, regardless of what part of the state you are in, but a small-town wonder in Winston County offers nature lovers an awe-inspiring sight that’s likely more than 2 million years in the making.

Natural Bridge Park is home to a sandstone and iron ore bridge that spans 148 feet and looms more than 60 feet as part of a picturesque bluff. Developed by the Legg family of Jasper, the natural bridge was originally on private property before opening as a 150-acre park in 1954.

Created by erosion over millions of years, the bridge has become an unexpected, off the beaten path site of wonder for all those who see it and wander the caverns beneath it – whether they are nature lovers or simply travelers who happen upon it.
