NATURAL BRIDGE, Va. – This October, Natural Bridge State Park invites guests to experience the past in a unique way with a Haunted History Lantern Tour. Held on select evenings in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the event promises a blend of history and mystery.
As darkness falls, visitors will join a park ranger on an interactive lantern-lit walk on Cedar Creek Trail, and along the way, they just may encounter ghosts and spirits of those who have left their mark on what is now Natural Bridge State Park.
With the iconic 200-foot-tall limestone bridge towering overhead and the cool, crisp air of autumn filling the night, it’s the perfect setting for an unforgettable experience.
