The Natural Bridge is a geologic landmark along the Lost Valley Trail in the Upper District of Buffalo National River. In this location, Clark Creek has carved out and dissolved a 50-foot-long "tunnel" in the St. Joe Limestone. An 8-foot-tall waterfall cascades beneath the Natural Bridge into a large pool.
