I found this one at Mc Dill Point yesterday.  

Hey, I was at McDill Point yesterday- awesome:

You picked a beautiful day to be there.  The picture I posted was taken under the spot you took yours.

From now on I'm limiting the list to true arches and natural bridges larger than 3 feet and medium to large size hole through rocks/needle eyes. There are hundreds of small hole in rocks and arches in Bankhead that aren't really worth listing.

Great pictures of Moss Rock Preserve and McDill Point.

Good idea Pully.  I'm not sure the one at Mc Dill Point even meets the criteria for a natural bridge anyway.  http://www.naturalarches.org/archinfo/faq.htm   I just wondered how many of the thousands of visitors to Mc Dill Point have even seen it.

There are a few in the Little River Canyon Preserve. One is Needle Eye rock in the middle of AL176. http://www.nps.gov/liri/p...visit/images/File0004.jpg
The is one above Poison Ivy Falls, just up the bluff from DeSoto Scout Trail. We call this one Cairn Rock Bridge, as it is just north of "Cairn Rock"

There are a couple more on the bluff of the canyon on Chinquapin Creek and Wolf Creek, and a few in the Land between the East and West Fork of Little River.

There is also more than one at Cherokee Rock Villiage/SandRock/Little Rock City.

There is a nice one on private land at Yellow Creek Canyon, about a mile above the big falls (Cherokee county)
I will try to dig up photos, because I have photos of at least half of these.

There is one in this set of photos.

Does this one Qualify? This is on Cheaha on 281 just down the hill from the store on the county line.

There is a nice one in Pisgah Gorge below the lower falls.
