Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area contains one of the highest natural bridges in the eastern United States and is located in parts of Scott, Fentress, Pickett and Morgan counties in Tennessee. Its most prominent feature is the river gorge cutting through the Middiddippisn sir took beneath the hard Pennsylvanian capstone of the Cumberland Plateau.
