McAfee Knob Trailhead
Hiking area
👍👍 We hiked this on Wed, 7-27-22. Trail was in great condition. Very easy to follow. We hiked up for sunset and hiked back in the dark. No route finding issues except that just before the summit you will veer off on a path just to the left that will take you to the famous overlook. We did miss that and...

👍👍 Discovered this planning a road trip. We were all so glad we stopped. It's one of the more unique covered bridges you will see in this area. The little park surround is cute with a surprise if you back up to take your pic. What first looks like random gear pieces and a tree spell LOVE!

👍 The Caverns is a great spot to check out after visiting the Natural Bridge. They have scheduled tours so you could call ahead and see when the next one is so you aren’t waiting too long. We waited about 45 minutes. While we waited we checked out ate our packed lunch, they have picnic tables around a...

👍👍 We love this park. It's a bit of a drive from our house but well worth it. The place is huge, 100% flat, has plenty to do for the entire family, lots of picnic tables and shelters for events. 5 stars for sure. The one downside is apparently you can't bring dogs. I didn't notice that until this eveni...

The lady in the gift shop answered any question we had and then locked up the store just to make sure we got a private ride on the small train. I liked t...
