Daniel Boone National Forest: Natural Arch Scenic Area
The Natural Arch Scenic Area is located in the Stearns Ranger District of the Daniel Boone National Forest, in McCreary County, Kentucky. This impressive sandstone arch reaches a height of 50 feet and spans nearly 100 feet across. The 945 acre area was preserved in 1961 and is considered part of the Big South Fork Recreation Area. The trail to the arch (Forest Trail 510) is a 1.5 mile lollipop loop that takes you to the base of the arch and then around the entire rock formation. Although this is a short hike it is truly impressive and a must see if you're in the area. For those that have more time the Buffalo Canyon Trail (Trail 508) is 5 miles in length and explores the gorge in more detail. It branches off from the arch trail as seen in the video. Other than a short but steep climb out of the gorge the arch loop trail is easy. Considering the climb out of the gorge, we rate this trail 2.5 out of 5 Billy Goats. To reach the Natural Arch, travel on State Route 27, 5 miles north of Whitley City, Kentucky. You will see a sign as you turn left on to County route 927. From there it's less than 2 miles to the day use parking area. Hope you enjoy this hike! Thanks for watching!

Hiking Yahoo Falls in McCreary County, Kentucky
A very short hike to the spectacular Yahoo Falls, Kentucky's highest waterfall with a 113 foot drop. The falls, found along Yahoo Creek, is located in the Yahoo Falls Scenic Area, a part of the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, in McCreary County, Kentucky. The trail is a lollipop loop and is very short and pretty easy. The upper part of the loop passes over the top of the bluffs and offers some views of Cumberland Lake as well as the falls from above. The lower portion of the trail passes behind the waterfall and under an amazing rock overhang, along the base of the cliffs, and then climbs a large series of stairs to reconnect with the upper trail and parking area. There are some other interesting trails in the area as well, but unfortunately I did not take the time to explore those. Thanks so much for watching!
