Natural Bridge Battlefield Historic State Park

Amenities Weather Recreation


Natural Bridge Battlefield Historic State Park is a historic site located in the state of Florida. The park is significant because it marks the site of one of the last battles of the American Civil War, where Confederate soldiers made a last stand against Union troops in a desperate attempt to stop them from capturing the state capital of Tallahassee.

Visitors to the park can explore the battlefield and learn about the history of the conflict through exhibits, artifacts, and interpretive signs. Some of the most interesting points of interest include the Confederate fortifications, the historic bridge that gives the park its name, and the cemetery where soldiers from both sides are buried.

In addition to its historical significance, the park also offers visitors opportunities to hike, fish, and picnic in a beautiful natural setting. The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, alligators, and rare plants and flowers.

The best time of year to visit the park is during the spring or fall, when the weather is mild and the park is less crowded. Visitors should be aware that the park is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and that there is a small entrance fee for vehicles.
