This is a historical park hundreds of years in the making. North Adams has a little gem here. An area where nature has used water to create a portrait of rock.

Love the white marble arch, and white marble dam that is all natural! Geoologists say that the arch was formed by the force og glacier melt over water 13,00 years ago; one of the best places in New England to demonstrate the effects of glaciation.

The Natural Bridge State Park is not very big but you could spend a couple of hours here if you wanted. It is really neat to see the marble dam and canyon carved by the water. They have these really neat pathways to get you up close to the Natural Bridge and points of interest. You could have a nice... More

Great photo ops. Nice staff. Also went to Cascade Falls a couple miles away. The kids liked walking up the river. Someone told us about Cascades. It's not on maps or no signs.

If you are in North Adams, you should take a few minutes to stop by and see this wonderful Natural Bridge State Park. It's really amazing how nature made it, and it is a beautiful place to take a few pictures. We spent about an hour there and the fee is only a $2.00 charge to park. It is really... More

Sometimes you just want to do something as a family that does not take all day. It was a rainy weekend and we were spending the weekend in the Berkshires. No one really wanted to go to any of the museums in the area. So we had heard about the Natural Bridges State Park. We stayed for less than an... More

Thanks to other reviewers I decided to make a detour to see this natural wonder. It's very peaceful listening to the small waterfall sliding down the marble dam. The natural bridge is a short walk from the parking area. It's a short walk but it's filled with rocks and rough patches, it would be difficult to bring a stroller. You... More

We liked seeing the various rock formations and getting in a small "hike" before heading to Mass MoCA. The park ranger on duty was very helpful and showed a bunch of things to our young children. They also had a scavenger hunt setup for the kids (always a hit). We probably spent about 90 minutes here but you could see... More

Although we didn't initially find the parking lot until after we hiked into the park, make sure you map yourselves to the parking lot of this place! This old marble quarry is beautiful to see and it's cooling water mists will be a welcome respite from the heat of summer! Unfortunately, people have marked and carved in their initials in... More
