Tonto Natural Bridge State Park lies between Pine and Payson, Arizona near the Mogollon Rim. Inside the Pine Canyon, exists the Tonto Natural Bridge - a natural travertine bridge that is believed to be the largest in existence.
Within the canyon runs Pine Creek, a stream flowing year-round which is responsible for the erosion that caused the Natural Bridge.
The park offers both vaults as well as flushing toilets, ramadas, picnic tables, and grills for day use. The historic Goodfellow Lodge, built in the 1920s, also stands showcasing a wood cabin style architecture. It is available to rent for group events.
Tonto Natural Bridge State Park features several viewpoints of the natural attraction and four hiking trails to the bottom of the canyon.
Trails include:
Anna Mae Trail - a 500 foot long, 200-foot descent down a packed dirt pathway to the Natural Bridge. Loose gravel and rocks may be present. The area may be slippery near the bottom of the trail while traversing over slippery worn rocks. Follow the arrows. Hiking boots are suggested. NOTE - This trail normally connects to the Pine Creek Trail, however, construction on the observation deck ends this trail early, making it an out and back trail at the time of filming.
Gowan Trail - a 2,200 foot long packed dirt out and back trail leading to the observation deck. Loose gravel and rocks may be present. There are several benches placed on the trail for resting. NOTE - at the time of filming, the observation deck is currently closed for reconstruction.
Waterfall Trail - a 300 foot long packed dirt out and back trail with a number of steps. The trail ends at a grotto covered in moss with falling water.
Pine Creek Trail - a 1/2 mile long partially developed trail leading to the creek bottom. Hiking shoes are advised.
The bridge-tunnel measures 183 ft high, 150 ft wide, and 393 ft long.
