The Alum Cove Natural Bridge Trail is located in the Ozark National Forest. Approximately 1.2 miles long, this loop trail takes hikers past a cave, a small stream, a couple of modest waterfalls, and the Alum Cove Natural Bridge. The hike itself will take less than an hour to do but you will want to spend as much time as possible here taking in all that this trail has to offer.
Viewing the leaves changing colors and breathing in the cool crisp autumn air is such a treat. And, yet, hiking trails are not as crowded this time of year as they are in the warmer months.
If you choose to hike in the fall, remember to wear hiking boots. Walking over fallen leaves can get slippery!
