Natural Bridge State Park in Powell County, Kentucky, rebounded strongly after wartime travel declines.

The park, famed as the oldest in the system, includes Hemlock Arch hotel facilities, three eating parlors, and extensive hiking and scenic views. Reservations are directed to the park at Slade, Kentucky.
