Why you should go…

Natural Bridge State Resort Park surrounds a sandstone arch that spans 78 feet and rises 65 feet high. You can hike up on the half-mile Original Trail or ride the sky lift, then squeeze through Fat Man's Squeeze and look out from Lover's Leap. About 1,200 acres of the park are a state nature preserve, and five miles of the Sheltowee Trace pass through it. Hemlock Lodge lets you stay overnight.
