Twin Arches, Tennessee, United States
5.0 (73 reviews) Spent Ranking #2 in Oneida Geologic Formations
Hidden gem!
Two couples & three dogs on this hike & we all had a great time! We did 7 miles & began the hike with the quick mile hike to the arches where we explored the tops as well. We continued our loop & were continuously amazed at every turn at the beauty. It truly felt like we were transported first to out west and then to a tropical island with the rocks & fauna. We followed a gorgeous creek for a while & I think it’s the prettiest creek I’ve ever seen. A couple of notes—there are two bathrooms at the trail head, there are stairs (at least in the route we took?)that are quite steep. Someone who struggles with normal stairs might find this too challenging.

Trail ready for spring
Visited on 3/5/21, parking lot bathrooms were open. The trail was in good condition, stairs well maintained, and no issues with safety. Well worth the time to see these arches here in Tennessee, they are outstanding. Short hike to arches, but you will want to spend 30-45 minutes visiting this natural attraction. Look around at the base of the arches to find interesting paths through the rock. Steep stairs from the top of the arches where you arrive to at the end of the trail, down to ground level.

Fun Family Hike
Fun family hike - plenty of stairs down and up but fairly easy trail other than that. Kids loved seeing the two arches and climbing around the rocks. Bit out of the way to get to the trailhead but glad we found it.
