Arch Spring

 

View from Kettle Road

     If you ever find yourself traveling to the larger attraction of Tytoona Cave in Blair county, Arch Spring is worth a stop. Arch Spring is thought to be the master conduit of water coming out of Tytoona Cave. The spring is named after the natural bridge like formation that suspends over the spring. Multiple dye tracing and analyses have been made to confirm that the spring is an outlet from Tytoona cave, however the exact route the water takes has never been physically followed. The arch itself is about 50 ft high and has a 20 ft diameter. The water collected under the arch is thought to be from a sinkhole that was once part of a cavern that collapsed. The Arch is visible from Kettle Road, however, the best view is from the other side but lies on private property on the near by farm.
