Natural Bridge State Park

Natural Bridge State Park spans 48 acres featuring a white marble arch formation spanning Hudson Brook through a 60-foot deep gorge.

The location operated as a commercial marble quarry from 1810 to 1947, later becoming a tourist attraction before its establishment as a state park in 1985.

The park serves as an educational center where interpreters explain geological processes and the effects of glaciation on New England's landscape.

The park operates from May through October, charging entrance fees of $5 for Massachusetts residents and $6 for non-residents, with picnic facilities available.

This location contains North America's only natural white marble arch, formed by glacial melt water carving through 550-million-year-old bedrock marble.
