Sewanee Natural Bridge

This Natural Bridge in Sewanee is a breathtaking sandstone arch rising 25 feet high with a 50-foot span, offering sweeping views of Lost Cove below. Just a short drive from downtown Sewanee, this scenic spot is easy to access with a designated parking area and a flat, quick walk to the overlook. A wet-weather spring tucked into a rock cave behind the bridge hints at the natural forces that helped shape it over time.

Although the site is generally peaceful and feels remote, it can draw visitors on weekends. Those seeking a quieter experience should try weekday mornings. The bridge has no railings or barriers, so visitors should tread carefully, especially near the edges. With its dramatic views and natural charm, Natural Bridge is a true hidden gem of Franklin County, and will soon be part of the upcoming Head of the Crow State Park, set to open in 2026.
