Sewanee Natural Bridge, Natural sandstone arch in Franklin County, Tennessee, United States.
The limestone natural bridge rises 25 feet high and extends 50 feet across, creating a formation above the surrounding woodland terrain.
The University of the South in Sewanee held ownership of this geological formation, leading to its current name and designation as a state natural area.
The Silver Jews, an alternative rock band, named their 1996 album 'The Natural Bridge' after this geological structure in Tennessee.
Visitors can reach the natural bridge by driving south on Highway 56 for 2.5 miles from Sewanee, then turning left onto Natural Bridge Road.
A wet weather spring located in a rock cave behind the bridge contributed to the erosion process that shaped this natural sandstone structure.
