Ashland, a small town in extreme eastern Kentucky, perches on the banks of the Ohio River. The city's downtown features large, ornate homes built by early industrialists.
From the trailhead, follow the old road along the ridgetop. After 1/2 mile, the trail begins to descend. Stairs with railings mark your approach to Yahoo Arch. Turn left and follow along the base of the cliff. At one mile, you will have reached Yahoo Arch. The arch has a height of 17 feet and a base of 70 feet. Also notice the smaller arch on your left. You may either retrace your steps to KY 700 or continue on to the Yahoo Falls Day Use Area and other connecting trails.
