Whittleton Arch GPX Track

I need to offset my substantial website costs somehow! You can download a hike/drive GPX to assist you here. Before sharing my GPX tracks with others, please remember my site is otherwise a free resource.

You can access Whittleton Arch from the east or west, but I chose to come from the west, starting from Whittleton Campground and followed the Sheltowee Trace/Whittleton Branch Trail. The trail follows Whittleton Bance, a pleasant creek, for a mile or so before the Whittleton Arch side-trail pops in on the right. The short spur leads through nice scenery to the unique arch. A waterfall cascades off a small and colorful cliff and down into the grotto at the base of the arch. A great combination of an arch and waterfall, I really enjoyed the destination and short hike.
