Excellent place to spend a whole day with kids. Several trails lead to falls and to the bridge. Before getting exhausted with all the trails go to the number 3 trail that will lead you to the bridge. Good place for family picnics. Your discovery pass for federal parks does not work here. Entry is $7.00 per person.

There is one big natural bridge, and it's pretty cool. If you are up to it, definitely hike down on one side or the other to see the bridge from below. If you are really adventurous, you can link up the trails. Hike down one side of the arch, hike under the arch, and hike up the other side. Warning: the hike under the arch itself has very slippery and steep rocks, but we had a blast doing it.

This place was awesome! I have never seen a natural travertine bridge before. I live in Utah and have seen lots of red rock natural bridges. This one was so beautiful with the waterfalls and water running through it. Definitely a must see.

Went June 18, 2024. Parked at the furthest parking spot closest to the trail down to the natural bridge. Trail down was good, steps were much better than those at the Grand Canyon, not as far to step down. Natural Bridge was pretty amazing! Went inside and took some pictures, waterfall coming down inside from the ceiling somewhere. One thing is your hiking shoes don't work well inside, you need rock climbing shoes with more rubber soles because the rocks are wet and slick. The hike out was fairly strenuous but a good burn. We took the other hikes there, Waterfall trail, very easy, can put your head in the water as it fall down. The Pine Creek trail was the most challenging, especially for my wife who has short legs, basically hiking in the creek and having to jump or climb over slick and large boulders. I had to grab my wife and pull her up over about 3 because she couldn't get a foothold or handhold. $7 fee [per person to get in. Overall, I really enjoyed it and probably a must see if you come to Payson!

Spent three hours at the park…first did the Birding tour with Mike. Lasted about an hour and not only received bird info (and sitings) but also stopped at most of the view points and received info at each. Then we did the house tour..also with Mike. We were the only two who had signed up so a private tour! Again MIke was full of information about the history of the area…from BC times to the current day. We learned so much! Had only expected to see the inside of the house….loved all he had to share. Added so much to our visit to the State Park. Would recommend to anyone….probably over the age of 10. Small children would get restless I’d think.
