Huddlestone Arch
About the Business
Huddlestone Arch, located in Central Park, New York, is a stunning feat of engineering and a popular attraction in the North Woods. Built entirely of massive boulders, with one weighing over 100 tons, the arch is held together by the pressure and gravity of the stones. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, the arch creates a rustic and natural entrance to the picturesque Ravine landscape. With meandering paths, dense tree canopies, and cascading waterfalls, the Ravine transports visitors to the wilderness of the Adirondacks. Central Park's arches and bridges, including Huddlestone Arch, play a crucial role in the park's circulation system, separating different forms of traffic. Explore this hidden gem in Central Park, immerse yourself in nature, and support the Central Park Conservancy in maintaining these historic structures.

Reviews
"Some of the stones in the middle of the arch seem to be held aloft through sheer friction. There's not much of an angled compressive support for those. I am probably missing something in terms of the forces applied, but it is very intriguing at first glance."
"Was there biking the loop. Return when the work on the Lasker Rink/Swimming Pool redo is done. It will likely be wonderful as that's the goal. Now its a disaster zone."
"It took us a while to find it, it's kind of hidden, but it was worth the wait! Totally recommend when in central park."
"Imagine the time it took to make this arch without the benefit of modern tools. Impressive!"
"Make sure to check out the warefall just behind the arch"
