Natural Bridge State Park, WY

I got here about 4:30pm yesterday (9/10/2012)……and this worth the drive to! It is maintained by the county & very well done! There are 8 campsites here, 3 are tent, 1 is tent or RV, & 4 are RV. There is a 3 day limit on stays, but that is because it is free! There are restrooms, no showers, but what a place! It is in a little gorge that has a stream running through it, and from the looks of the water flow, must be spring fed.




There is an old block building as you enter the park that was going to be a power generation plant some 70-80 years ago, but the company doing it went bankrupt before they got it done.



On the other side of the stream & across/under the "bridge" is a day use area that is just really amazing for a county park!




And I just realized just how high this bridge is. In the pic below is a two person wrought iron & wood bench, it is about 50 ft from my campsite… looks kind of small, huh!?




The park is open May-October, and I'm sure in summer, with kids out of school, this spot is not nearly so peaceful! But right now it is just a little piece of Nervana on Earth!

To find it, take exit 151 off I-25 in WY and start driving south. Ignore your GPS if you plug the park into it……just get on the road, head south, and…enjoy the drive (about 4 miles). Along the way, look for a herd of bison on your left going in! They are beautiful creatures.
