Kentucky is filled with natural wonders and some of the best are the stone arches that are hidden throughout our forests. The Bluegrass State is said to have more natural arches than any other state east of the Mississippi and if you’ve ever been hiking throughout Daniel Boone National Forest, then you know this is likely true. Many of these arches and bridges are well known, while others take more effort to reach and aren’t as commonly shared. Perhaps you’ve never heard of Devil’s Market House Arch within the National Forest. This rock house in Kentucky is equal parts fascinating and mysterious and true adventurers will want to seek it out.

Daniel Boone National Forest is such an incredible feature of our beautiful state.
