There is a ski lift that takes you up to the stone bridge and you can walk over it.

We go every year.

Sorry, it's "The Natural Bridge" down at Slade Ky. only one I've ever heard of.... sorry.

No sorry needed, i thought you were being funnay.

The "natural bridge" with the ski lift etc is a natural bridge there, yes... one of hundreds and hundreds, but the only one accessible by the average person in a minivan.

The arch they are talking about is part of the big bend trail entrance thru the narrows. I've heard it called white's arch before as well.

The trail actually runs across the top of the arch. And it's narrow as hell, hence the name. tough for two rigs to pass each other on it, and don't fall off the side... i imagine you will never be retrieved if it happens.

The trail/road was closed a couple years ago to ohv access due to erosion issues, etc. There is no other way "around" it that is legal. You have to enter somewhere else now.

This whole topic has given me something to write about for for Eng 101 class. I just submitted my essay to the columnist for the Lexington Herald-Leader, We'll see if they post something positive for the area rather than always cutting the wheelers down.
I go through a lot of aluminum cans when I hit the trails but I always bring out more than what I go in with along with a couple stray parts here and there, hope everyone is doing the same. Slade gets a great deal of business from all 4-wheeling groups. All the rock-climbers and hikers buy is pizza. That's the tightest bunch of people I've ever seen and they get all the support. My family has been a part of the campgrounds at Natural Bridge and by the rest area, it is a fact that they try to slip in and steal a free night of camping and try to leave before anyone catches them. You don't see this out of the offroad group. As a local, thanks for all your support to our community, I know the local business owners appreciate it. Your welcome any time.
