About Rock Bridge Memorial State Park

A collapsed cave section formed the natural rock bridge that gives this park its name, spanning a creek within a landscape of sinkholes and underground drainage. The preserve covers 2,273 acres and contains 12 caves, including Devil's Icebox, known for its underground stream. It is the only known home of the pink planarian, a flatworm species found nowhere else.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
