About Natural Bridge Battlefield Historic State Park
Natural Bridge Battlefield Historic State Park is a 2,121.37 acres (858.49 ha) Florida state park in unincorporated Leon County, about 15 mi (24 km) southeast of Tallahassee and near the community of Woodville. The park takes its name from a natural bridge where the St. Marks River disappears into a series of sinkholes, flows about 0.6 mi (0.97 km) underground through a cave system, and re-emerges at the St. Marks River Rise just south of the park boundary. The park preserves the site of the Battle of Natural Bridge, fought on March 6, 1865, in the closing weeks of the American Civil War.
