Cool Off Arch
McCreary County · Cumberland Plateau
Documented August 1998. Old forest Service measurements for this arch are 95 x 25. John Burns measured it significantly smaller at approximately 37 x 1. The "1" is the distance between the cliff and the arch not the height of the arch. However I disagree with the height measurement by the Forest Service as well having been there personally, though for now it will be left in there. It was not that high. What occured here is the Forest Service measured the longest side of the linel, not the opening itself. This is a common mistake that is made when measuring arch openings.
