Erosion sculpted Pivot Rock in
Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
As
far
back,
as
the
late
1800’s,
stage-
coach passengers were stopping on
their
way
into
Eureka
Springs.
Arkansas,
to
see Pivot Rock.
Visitors still come to have a look at this
natural
oddity
believed
to
have
been
shaped by water erosion at the end of the
Ice Age. With an
1 8-foot-wide top resting
on a
tiny.,
18-inch base,
it seems to defy
tlie law of gravity.
At Pivot Rock Farms,
the rock and a
natural bridge formation are connected by
hiking
trails. Owner
Bill Goff says
that
{>eople come
to enjoy
nature
along
the
trails
as much
as
they come
to see
the
main attractions.
According to Goff, the area became an
attraction by
1895, as stagecoaches made
their
way
from
Missouri
to
Arkansas.
"Halfway up
the
hill
into town (Eureka
Springs),
the
drivers would
stop
at
the
springs,
stretch
their
legs,
arid
give
the
horses water,”
he
explains.
During
the
rest stop, the wandering passengers even-
tually discovered the formations.
Goffs in-laws, Robert and Beulah Mul-
lins, bought the land in 1927. Some of the
visitors of that era would pack a lunch at
me Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs and
hire
horses
from
the
livery
stable
that
they could ride out to the farm.
Over the years, many legends have been
associated
with
the
area
around
Pivot
Rock. One claims that
it served as a hide-
