There is ample parking, water, and restrooms at
this State Park. See the state park website
for current entrance fees. As of 2007 it was $3 per person. No
pets allowed on the trails.
Those with mobility issues will not be able to reach the
Observation Deck along the Gowan Trail. The park has also included
warnings regarding the difficulty of the short trail down to the
deck. The trail will also be closed during high water. If you are
unable to reach the coordinates answer what you can.
The website and park brochure have a description of the various
events that occurred to create this natural bridge, so there is no
need to repeat that information here. However, I found the plaque
on the observation deck (a few tens of feet north of the
coordinates) with individual pictures of each stage very
informative and easier to understand.
You are allowed to walk through the bridge
