Long Creek Natural Bridge

UPDATE 2: Visited by Vic Fife and Renee Errett 3/25/26. Victor noted that this was destroyed when they built Barren River Lake. It is seen on the old USGS topo map for the area. UPDATE: Victor found out that the bridge was not destroyed. That is it accessible during lower water levels. Using the old coordinates in the database I was able to locate the bridge on Lidar. New coords reflect the lidar indicated bridge.

UPDATE 2: Visited by Vic Fife and Renee Errett 3/25/26. UPDATE: Location was thought to have been destroyed, that is not the case. Location was found using lidar. "I've visited this location at least three times over the years. The location is marked on a 1931 Lafayette quad map. According to a fellow that owned the property, he thought that the arch was destroyed by the construction of Barren River Lake back in the sixties. I have looked for any indication of what might have been the original site of the arch. I have seen a sort of earthen embankment there, but any opening has been filled in. This site is under water at summer pool. This is an interesting area geologically. Just upstream from the former arch, Long Creek goes underground at a site called The Sink. There are several large springs near here. Calvert Spring Bottled Water comes from the spring it is named after. Carpenter Cave is upstream on the Barren River from its confluence with Long Creek. I've explored extensively in Carpenter Cave." - Victor Fife
