Pivot Rock and Natural Bridge - Shopping area - Hiking Near Me - Eureka Springs, Arkansas

See all

The drive to PR was calming and scenic. My time to and from PV and the stacked rocks was less than 20 minutes, so if you're into short hikes and finding joy in nature, this could be one. Hike has both paved and non-paved trail with an online map or you could take a picture at entrance. If going solo, I wouldn't mind the fee, it gets pricey when you're with a group or with kids, especially for the time spent. read more

When we arrived around noon on a cool April Wednesday we found the gate open, but the gift shop closed with a sign that said $6 each or what you can afford with an honor system can. We deposited $4 since that is all we had - and I wasn't depositing a $20 bill for two people and not knowing if the next person would steal it. The honor can should really be more secure! The trail is fairly short and not too strenuous - coming from a 60 year old with problematic knees. The natural bridge and pivot rock are cool but not larger than life like the promotional billboards would lead you to believe. Just as interesting are the scores of stacked rocks left by tourists. Whimsical and amusing juxtaposed against the wilderness trails. Was it worth my $4 - yes! Would it have been worth it at full price of $12 - uuhhh... Ok, I am on vacation and I've spent more for less before; but I couldn't recommend it for a large traveling family. It was nice to have the entire trail and area to ourselves. The trail signs do need a makeover since they are unreadable. 3 stars for value, rounding up to 4 for the benefit of keeping Americana roadside attractions open. read more

What a cool place to explore! Located a couple miles on a windy drive off the highway. It's $8 an adult, $3 a kid to walk the grounds and trails. They have a small shop, public restrooms, free walking sticks to use and it's an easy paved hike (steep on part but has railings) to see the natural bridges and pivot rock. The trail is about a 1/2 mile loop but you can take an extended path for a few extra minutes to see more rock stacks. 100% recommend if you are out near Eureka Springs! read more

Nothing special here. Honor box to pay $6 to walk up to a rock, reinforced with concrete. Do not recommend.

We had a GREAT time at Pivot Rock & Natural Bridge in Eureka Springs. Add this quick trail to your "must-do's" in the area! It's a quick trail and there is a small fee, but it is really pretty & dog friendly if you brought your furry friend. Make sure to take a look in the visitors shop before you go. read more

Very disappointing. Waste of time and money. Absolutely do NOT recommend. Do not pay money for this tiny trail with tiny rocks.

Rocks were cool. Easy hike. A little over priced for how short the trail was but it was fun. read more

Don't waste your $. Drive is out of the way from anything, overcharged for a short walk to see what you can see for free anywhere you drive around Eureka Springs. Looking at random people's stacks of rocks isn't an attraction. Total tourist trap. Lucky it was a nice day or it would have been an even bigger waste of 15 minutes of time. read more

Nice walk through the woods to natural bridge and pivot rock! I would recommend if you like nature. read more

Very disappointed in Pivot Rock. The shop was closed off season so we entered (along with another couple) to see Pivot Rock. No signage, poor trail that isn't being maintained, and not much of anything to see. Pivot rock has been spot repaired using concrete or else it would've fallen by now. Now it looks like a rock sitting on a concrete post (man made looking). Then when we went to exit a man approached us near our car and semi-threatened us to pay him $6 each! We were afraid he had a gun so we paid him and left. Ridiculous behavior by him for such a poorly maintained facility that was closed and not maintained. Do not visit this site! Not worth it! read more

I was in the area and stopped on impulse. I had read prior reviews so I hadn't added Pivot Rock to my list of must-see attractions, but I ended up passing by it and decided to check it out. The walk was short ten minutes round-trip approximately. The Rock itself was very beautiful and the bridge was very pretty however with that being said this should be free to visit. I actually seen so many rock formations and natural bridges not to mention beautiful Ozark mountains while in the AR area that I was dumbfounded as to why I had to pay to see just the rock and bridge. However if you really want to see it you should. read more

It was ok. Neat to see and not the worst $6/person we've ever spent but def not the best either. Def not what it's hyped up to be on the sign. Very pretty short walk tho. read more

We saw the signs and curiosity got the best of us so we had to check out Pivot Rock and Natural Bridge. As the sign says, follow the road until it ends. There is no simpler direction than that. You will see a shack which is the gift shop and where you pay an admission fee of $4.50 per person to see this natural formation. As you leave the shack and hit the trail, it is a pleasant hike. There are no real steep slopes and hand rails help at certain areas where you may need it. the trail begins to the left where you see the Natural Bridge. You can't actually walk on it but you get to see it from the top and later from the bottom. As you continue further down the trail you see lots of trees and nice scenery. Luckily for us, there was a lot of running water due to the rains so that added to the experience. Once you get to the Pivot Rock you can't miss it. It looks like an inverted top and you immediately wonder what is holding it up. Predictably, there is some graffiti on the rock but you can still enjoy this natural formation. The hike would be considered short if you didn't stop and enjoy the scenery. Sure you can get through it in under 10 minutes but we too our time and enjoyed being the only ones on the trail that day. It was an interesting thing to see once but at $4.50 I doubt that I will go back any time soon. read more

Good to see a family find a way to make a living and share their beautiful bit of land. It is worth the admission to walk the lovely trail and see the views and natural features. I remember coming here as a child with my parents 50 years ago and loving it, gratefully, it has not been divided up for housing or commercial lots since then. Yes, the Pivot Rock has been reinforced a bit since that time, but not much and I'd rather it be safe than original. The trail is easy enough for young children, so bring the whole family. read more

We drove through Eureka Springs and like others, saw the sign so decided to drive back to Pivot Rock. The drive was beautiful through the woods that seemed to take forever but we arrived to a very clean gift shop. The gentleman there was the owner and a delight to talk to. We paid our fees and went for a hike. My daughter had no problem with the hike but the humidity was rough on others! The rock itself if smaller than I expected but still a treat to see. The natural bridge was nice, too. Really really beautiful piece of property that the owner still operates as he and others have for so many years. Was seeing just the rock worth 5 stars? No. BUT with such picky travelers and bad reviews for neat little places, it is no wonder that little roadside attractions such as this are disappearing. I'll gladly pay to take my family on these adventures. So for that reason, it was truly worth 5 stars. If ever through Eureka Springs, I'd go again! read more

This was intriguing by the signs but not worth the time or money! If you do go there, there is an upper trail which you walk back on from the attraction (or lack of it) and it is much easier if you have any health limitations. They did not say this at the store where you pay and it is not posted. There were two older people having a very hard time doing the steps and could have just taken the higher route if they had known. My suggestion is look at the pictures on line and go do something else! read more

A good little hike, but the curiosity is what brought us in and we were a little bummed at what we got. $4.50 is not too shabby compared to everything else around eureka springs. Would have loved to have more history about the formations! We really enjoyed our walk around the grounds though. About 1 mile, good for kids. read more

Closes at 6 pm... small fee to get in but great little hike with some awesome views. There's an opening to a cavern where you can feel nature's ac as the temp drops about 15 degrees less than outside. Most of trail is paved too! read more

I have to admit - the signs drag you in, and then trick you into paying to see these natural formations. I felt a little cheated, but thought, "hey, why not?" so we paid the admission and started on the trail. It was a nice walk, and the natural formations are good for photo ops. It only takes about 15-20 minutes total to walk the trail. I believe there is also a small gift shop at the end. read more

We were also attracted by the signs, and realized each of us has to pay $4.50 just to take a 15-20 minutes trail hike, and see 1 pivot stone and 1 stone bridge. You can already see it on Yelp photo. So, for me to pay $4.50 just for this, I really felt being cheated. I prefer just to go hike free in Leatherwood City Park. Ask local people around, they will tell you where. It has beautiful around-lake trail you can hike. read more
