A Natural Wonder in New York's Adirondack Mountains

Come Explore!  

The massive Stone Bridge is the LARGEST marble cave entrance in the eastern U.S. and is still being carved by the beautiful Trout Brook. 


In summer, walk the self-guided and above-ground nature trail to witness this spectacular display of ancient Adirondack geology. 

Rustic stone-step and gravel trail features the old Sawmill Site Waterfalls, Artists' Gorge, incredible potholes and of course several surface caves. 

Descend into lighted caves and grottos with raging water or tranquil dark pools. 

Hourly start time limits often booked full in July/Aug.  Reserve spots at least 24h in advance. 

Walk in spots are available if the hourly limit is not filled.  First come first serve for day of walk-in tickets.

My kids loved this beautiful piece of nature. It was a nice hike through nature that was very relaxing. The gift shop is great too!! It's definitely worth the trip!

We loved it so much, we came back a week later to visit again!
In my opinion, it was better than Niagara Falls! A great hiking tour with breathtaking views of nature at its best.

This was our first trip to the Natural Stone Bridge, it won't be our last! The views are breath taking, a gem unlike we've ever said. Looking forward to our next visit..
