Description

Visitors to the Cedar Creek Trail in Natural Bridge State Park will park in the large lot by the visitor center (daily ticket or VA State Park pass required for entry). The trail begins adjacent to the visitor center and hikers will follow the paved path down several sets of stairs until reaching a park pavilion where you display your park pass/ticket for entry.

After passing this park pavilion, you'll quickly reach the Natural Bridge. The trail continues under the bridge following the Cedar Creek and hikers will pass the Monacan Village. After crossing the creek again over a cement bridge, hikers will approach the Salt Peter Cave. Continuing onwards along the creek, the trail ends at Lace Falls.
