Natural Bridge, Kentucky

Forget man-made bridges. This one is entirely natural! Standing six and a half stories high, the Kentucky Natural Bridge is truly a sight to behold. It’s in Eastern Kentucky, surrounded by mountains, and can be found within Kentucky’s Daniel Boone National Forest.

This bridge is made up entirely of sandstone and has been around for millenniums, with some geologists speculating that the bridge is more than one million years old.

The natural bridge is thought to have been formed when large sandstone chunks fell off the side of a little ridge and were carved into shape by the weather and root systems. Its arch is 78ft long, 65ft high, 12ft thick, and 20ft wide.

Encircling the bridge, you’ll find more than 18 miles of trails and the 40-acre Mill Creek Lake. This is truly a stunning, natural, AND unique bridge you should visit.
