Notes regarding time
Luminary Nights Dec. 12-14 and Dec. 19-21 from 5 PM - 9 PM; Carriage Rides Dec. 14 and Dec. 21 from 5 PM - 9 PMDescription
Experience Natural Bridge State Park like never before, with festive lighting and roaring fires; the park is awash in the holiday spirit this December. Enjoy an after dark stroll along the illuminated Cedar Creek Trail and under the Natural Bridge, lit up to show the crags and clefts of the arch in festive colors. Please dress for the cold.
Back at the pavilion, warm up around one of our campfires and relax with friends and family or stop by to see Mr. and Mrs. Claus.
