Natural Bridge is a town at the southwest edge of Winston County, Alabama, located near the intersection of U.S. Route 278, Alabama Highway 13, and Alabama State Route 5. It initially incorporated on September 3, 1914. In the 1930s, due to a dwindling population, its charter became dormant. On July 24, 1997 it reincorporated.

The population was 37 at the 2010 census, up from 28 in 2000. After its reincorporation, in 2000 it was the least populated town in Alabama that was incorporated, although Gantts Quarry had a population of zero but was still legally incorporated. In 2010, it lost the title to McMullen and became the 4th least populated incorporated town in the state. The town has a total area of 0.4 square miles, all land.

There is a small gift shop plus a small entry fee for adults and children to walk the one-mile trail which has lots of rock formations. Good walking shoes are recommended due to roots and stairs up and down. The sandstone and iron ore arch (148 feet long) is "the longest Natural Bridge east of the Rockies." But not the highest at only 60 feet high. People can no longer walk across the bridge. .

Below: Lee Duquette went around the big rock and up the hill and from somewhere up above, he photographed Karen Duquette who was waiting below. While up there, Lee found a little girls jacket and brought it back to the gift shop so it could get back to its owner. They did not see anyone else the whole time they were up here.
