About this campground
Natural Bridge Picnic Area is the oldest national forest recreation site in Alabama. A paved trail (approximately 3/8 mile) leads to this natural rock archway deep in a forest of hardwoods, quaintly-positioned in Bankhead National Forest. So pack a picnic and make the hiking trek to this area.
