This Roadside Attraction In Arkansas Is The Most Unique Thing You’ve Ever Seen

Cabins, moonshine, and an enormous sandstone arch…if that isn’t a combination worth exploring, I don’t know what is. At Natural Bridge of Arkansas, you’re going to find more than just an enormous natural bridge. From a moonshiner’s cabin to an impressive geological wonder, Natural Bridge of Arkansas is a roadside attraction unlike any other.

Natural Bridge of Arkansas is located at 1120 Natural Bridge Road in Clinton.

Please note, Natural Bridge of Arkansas is temporarily closed.

You’re going to enter through a log cabin that was built in 1871.

Right off the bat you’ll notice that this roadside attraction is super neat. In fact, even the fireplace is charming.

You’re going to experience the Natural Bridge of Arkansas by walking down a lovely trail. There’s a second 19th century cabin fairly close to the first.

The second cabin looks like what it used to be—a former haven for moonshiners.

There’s even a wagon from the era along the trail.

You’ll have a ball exploring the natural beauty on the hike that will lead you to the Natural Bridge.

The Natural Bridge of Arkansas is an incredible wonder of geology, and you can see that from a distance.

At 120 feet long and 12 feet off the ground, the solid sandstone bridge is unlike most other natural bridges.

Most natural bridges are arch bridges, but the Natural Bridge of Arkansas is a compression bridge, buttressed by two enormous stones at either end.

It will cost you $5 to see this attraction, and it’s well worth your time.

The trails are gorgeous, the cabins are cool, and the natural bridge is absolutely stunning.
