The new State Park will be much more than the Natural Bridge, the land features
awesome views of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains
Virginia Conservation Legacy Fund is a 501(c)3 formed to facilitate the transition of Virginia's Natural Bridge Park into the Natural Bridge State Park. In 2014, VCLF and concerned citizens rescued the property from the auction block through a complex land deal which included a significantly reduced sales price, the donation of some acreage and other physical assets and a $9 million loan from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. Since then, private support has been sought to pay off the loan, which is necessary for the actual state park transition to take place. Your contributions can make this possible. Thank you for joining in this exciting initiative!
The park will also feature several small rapids and falls along Cedar Creek
