Rock Bridge Memorial State Park

Located at the south edge of Columbia is Rock Bridge Memorial State Park.  There is also a small campground just west of the park that is vastly underutilized - there is no camping within the Rock Bridge Memorial Park itself.

There are some hiking trails, the rock bridge itself which spans a live stream, and a  nice environment.

These pictures take you on a walking tour from the start of the main trail, which is under renovation, to the return back at the parking lot.

The "Rock Bridge."  A live stream runs through it.

leaving the cave to go back up to the observation deck.

There is a construction detour that goes east and starts down from the ridge.  Going left here, instead of right, would take you over the natural rock bridge itself.  The trail is undergoing renovation.

Well, not the most sanitary but at least there is something.
