Rockbridge State Nature Preserve, Natural bridge within state preserve in Rockbridge, US
The natural bridge spans 100 feet in length, extending 50 feet across a ravine with a width between 10 to 20 feet.
The state of Ohio acquired the 182-acre preserve in 1978, establishing protection for the geological formations along the Hocking River.
The geological formation influenced the naming of the surrounding community of Rockbridge, reflecting the natural landmark's regional importance.
The preserve contains two loop trails within a 2.75-mile system, leading visitors to both the natural bridge and a rock shelter formation.
Water erosion of the Mississippian Black Hand sandstone's softer layers created this natural formation, the largest of Ohio's twelve natural bridges.
