Uncovered Natural Bridge Becomes Focal Point for New Tennessee Resort

Here in Kentucky, we're no strangers to natural bridges. There are many in the Commonwealth. Some are hidden, and some are not, and that includes the centerpiece of Red River Gorge. It's one of the most popular attractions in the Bluegrass.

The Bridges Resort

Tennessee is where you'll find the world's only double-span natural bridge formation. It's in Waynesboro.

Long a favorite for nature-loving enthusiasts and hikers, this once-hidden natural phenomenon is now the main attraction at a cool new Tennessee resort called The Bridges. Formerly a fitness spa, The Bridges is owned and run by Stan and Winnette Bevis, along with members of their immediate and extended families. They've made a point of leaning into the benefit of having a magnificent natural attraction like this double-span bridge as the centerpiece for their new enterprise.

Waynesboro and South Central Tennessee

It's an ingenious move, incorporating a breathtaking natural formation into a popular resort, but the Bevises have hit a home run here. And if you book a stay, yes, there will be plenty to do (and eat) on the premises, but there's also a lot going on in and around Waynesboro to complement your getaway.

Lots of awesome and unique little shops will occupy your time when you're not immersing yourself in Waynesboro's music scene. Priding itself on being a "music town," the Wayne County Museum's music section keeps Waynesboro visitors happy and busy until they decide to head out and explore whatever else can be found in what's known as "Nashville's Big Backyard", a collection of 12 communities in a massive south central Tennessee watershed region.

And now, part of that "yard" is devoted to one of Tennessee's newest resorts, and one whose popularity increases by the day.
