Rockbridge State Nature Preserve

Hermoso lugar natural. Una no muy larga caminata en otoño. Wonderful natural place in Autum.

This is an excellent destination for a moderately challenging hike. The trails are well-marked and easy to navigate, offering a smoother experience compared to the often confusing routes at Hocking Hills State Park. Hikers can expect some steep climbs and sections with exposed roots, but the rewarding views of the rock bridge make the effort worthwhile. Please note that there is a significant amount of poison ivy along parts of the trail, so caution is advised. In addition to the wooded areas, the trail also features a picturesque stretch through a scenic meadow. I would gladly return if I’m in the area again.

This is Ohio's longest natural (rock) bridge. A lot of improvements have gone into the trail, parking and trailhead. The boardwalk upgrades have made all the difference! This used to be a well-kept secret. Now even on a Sunday morning there is a full parking lot and many ppl on the trail. NO PETS are permitted. There are no restrooms. Please know you are going to work to get back to the parking lot! Awesome area.

If you want to experience nature and enjoy the peace and quiet along with beauty this trail is for you. We did not get to go all the way to the rock bridge . It is an easy hike, I enjoyed the sweet aroma of honeysuckle along the trail.

The bridge itself is the big highlight here, and wow is it gorgeous! There are inclines and they get extremely slippery in the winter. I’m sure fall leaves can have a similar effect. If you come in the winter get some spikes for your shoes and try to stay in the snow and away from the ice in the center of the trail. You can’t get lost here as there’s only 2 easy trails and are marked with a map at every intersection.

We had a wonderful time! The trails were beautiful and even with some hills and roots, our 1 and 3 year old managed just fine.

What a wonderful area. My daughter and I spent hours exploring and discovering. We will definitely be going back and highly recommend checking out.

This trailhead was not as easy to locate, but was a nice hike with some downhill area on the way there, and uphill trails to return. Rockbridge is as the name implies, but there are not very many areas from which to take pictures due to how and where the fault is situated. Otherwise, it is yet another reason to visit the area and get some exercise. Parking was free.

Very glad we stopped here after seeing the signs on 33. The rock bridge is beautiful and unique. We saw only a handful of other hikers, so it was very peaceful as well. Be sure to bring water and wear good shoes/boots. There are a couple good inclines and lots of exposed roots to navigate. Trails were well marked.

A very nice scenic hike. Moderate difficulty due to steep hills and need to navigate tangles of roots. The access road is narrow, there is a small free parking lot. There is no bathroom and pets are not allowed.
