A must-see photo opportunity at Natural Bridge State Park in Virginia is the stunning LOVEworks art installation, which symbolizes the interconnectedness of nature. The four letters of LOVE beautifully depict the flowing waters of Lace Falls, which cascade through Cedar Creek, under the iconic Natural Bridge, and on to the James River. This sculpture highlights how nature’s beauty is linked, showcasing the incredible landscape of the area.
Natural Bridge is not only a geological wonder but also a sacred site for the Monacan people. According to legend, when their ancestors were fleeing from an enemy tribe, the stone bridge miraculously appeared across a chasm, allowing the tribe's women and children to escape while the warriors fought off the attackers. This powerful story adds an extra layer of meaning to the bridge and the surrounding area.
Visitors to Natural Bridge State Park can enjoy a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural history, and the chance to connect with one of Virginia’s most important landmarks. Don’t miss the chance to capture stunning photos at the LOVEworks installation and learn about the Monacan heritage.
