The lodge is a rustic getaway experience which is only accessible via the Big South Fork trail system. You can learn more about room prices, meals, and the experience on the CCL website here: https://www.ccl-bsf.com.

The arch is gigantic and towers majestically over the forest floor. There are a ton of trail to explore from the base of the arch, so bring a map to make sure you are on track!

You can take the trail up on top of the arch to get sweeping views across Big South Fork. You can also explore the base of the arch. Both are great spots for photo ops!

As you follow the trial along the base off the bluff there are a number of carved-out cliffs. There are large rocks below the cliff pockets that you can scramble on and the views are a delight.

Walk north a couple feet from the trailhead to see the ruins of an old rail bridge that stretches across the ford. You can walk on part of the bridge quite safely, though most of the middle is washed away. From here you can explore south along the river via the John Muir Trail and Leatherwood Trails, or head north to Angel Falls.

The trail is easy and well maintained, and you get fantastic views of the Cumberland River. This spot is often fairly secluded and is quite peaceful at sunset.

The John Muir Trail is fairly technical in places and mostly forested, but there are a few great overlooks to explore. This is certainly once of them! From here you get splendid views of the Cumberland River as it winds its way north.

There is a raised bridge over Laurel Fork Creek here, marking a significant trail junction. You can head east from here along the John Muir Trail for a beautiful forest hike with some great overlooks, or explore the Station Camp Creek and Laurel Fork Creek trails along the water.
