Sewanee Natural Bridge
00:00 / 01:04
Easy
A masterpiece of Mother Nature’s handiwork, the 27-foot-tall natural bridge in Head of the Crow State Park has been artfully weathered from solid sandstone by water, seeping from the bluff; and by winds coming up from the valley below. This “bridge” started out being part of the bluff-line, but over time, the entire rock formation has migrated away from the bluff, slowly sliding downhill. The unusual nature of the Natural Bridge made this a popular tourist attraction, beginning in the 1870s, when the nearby University of the South was founded.
To access the Sewanee Natural Bridge, follow the box-step staircase downhill 150 fee from the parking area.
