Natural Arch Overlook at Daybreak and Dusk

Overview. This handicap accessible walk leads out to a great view of Natural Arch. I started and ended my day here with a time lapse of daybreak and another approaching dusk. Of course, I tapped the wrong setting at dusk - oops:-)

Trail navigation. This is an easy walk on paved trail to the overlook - just follow the pavement.

CAUTION - Poisonous snakes. Timber rattlesnakes and copperheads can be found in the region. Stay alert on the trail, as snakes are commonly found taking in the warmth of the trail. Give them a wide berth or wait for them to move off the trail.

CAUTION - Bears. Black bears are growing in number throughout Daniel Boone National Forest. Be sure to follow bear safety precautions. [Be Bear Aware by US Forest Service]
