Arch
Rock
At
Inch Arran, a natural rock formation "the Arch Rock" carved
by the tides and once called the "Gate of Fossil Cove", is
a photographer’s dream. The beach area surrounding the
Arch Rock is greatly prized by geologists, locals and tourists.
On
the edge of the rock an outline of a face can be seen facing
the Eel River Bar Native Reserve. On top of the rock stands
a single tree that is said to represent a feather for legend
has it that the Indian chief from the reserve proclaimed that
when he died he would return to watch over his people. When
he died, it is believed that he was reincarnated onto the
side of the arch rock overlooking the native reserve. Over
the years, erosion has torn away at the rock but to this day
the Indian chief remains watching over his tribe.
