Located within the forested wilderness of the Ramble and just a few feet away from Oak Bridge, stands the Rustic Stone Arch. One of the most unique and romantic arches in Central Park it is wedged into a narrow path surrounded by large boulders. Its high narrow archway seems contained by the limited space and as such fits perfectly into its rustic surrounding.
