Rock Bridge Memorial
State Park is a 2,273-acre park with more than 15
miles of hiking and bicycling trails. The park was
founded in 1967 and is
named for the naturally occurring "rock bridge"
due to the area
karst topography, and as a memorial
to an area youth, Carol Stoerker, who was killed in a car
accident in 1961. |

The Friends of
Rock
Bridge Memorial State Park (FoRB) is
a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization founded in 1992 to
promote understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the
natural and cultural resources of Rock Bridge Memorial State
Park and to aid in the preservation of the park.
Some of our current members were part of a group of
Columbians that raised the original funds to preserve the
land as a state park in 1962. Today our members,
over 200 of us, put our mission into action through
volunteer service, fundraising, educational
programs, and advocacy. |
