Kentucky's Most Scenic Place?

Natural Bridge in Eastern Kentucky
The Natural Bridge is in one of the oldest Kentucky State Parks. The park was developed by the Lexington and Eastern Railroad. The location was later integrated into the Kentucky State Park system. The sandstone arch is located  near Slade, KY. The woods have thickets of rhododendron and mountain laurel.  Mature hemlocks and tall oaks make up the forest around the span of the arch. 
The sandstone arch stands 65 feet high and spans 78 feet in length. The arch is arguably among the most scenic places in Kentucky.  The site has been protected.  It is one of the best experiences of any of the experiences in exploring Kentucky.
