Moderate-Hiking Stick Recommended, Up to about 1.5 miles Bridge Trail or Waterfall Trail Driving directions: Turn right (south) out the Cabins On Strawberry Hill driveway. Pass through the village of Pine and continue south for another five to ten minutes. When you are on the portion of 87/260 that is an undivided 4 lane section, you will see a sign on the right. Use your gears to slow your car to prevent overheating your breaks. Follow the signs to the parking lot. There is a fee to enter the state park. Obtain a guide sheet and select which trail to follow. The world’s largest known travertine bridge is 183 feet high, 150 feet wide and 400 feet long. It is incredibly huge.

During the winter, icicles hang down beautifully when there is moisture that melts slowly during the day. The trail has numerous stairs built into it, which is why we recommend a hiking stick
