What to expect
Natural Bridges is a scenic destination featuring two-mile hiking trails that lead to spectacular limestone caverns carved out by Coyote Creek, which feeds into New Melones Lake. The area is known for its unique geological and historical features. However, it has suffered from vandalism and a lack of conservation efforts, with graffiti and trash found on the trail. The site is home to poison oak and rattlesnakes, and visitors are advised to stay on the trail and be aware of their surroundings. The trail is considered family-friendly, with some reviewers noting that it is suitable for kids, but also warning about the cold water and potential for swift currents. The area is popular for hiking and swimming, and visitors are encouraged to practice conservation and 'hop lightly' to preserve the natural beauty of the site
