Trail Overview

This is a scenic and well-maintained Forest Service road that is also a part of the Kentucky Adventure Trail Main 2 Route. This road leads south of the Laurel Lake area and into some of the great waterfall hikes around the Cumberland Falls area. It's an absolutely gorgeous area any time of the year.

Status Reports

Easy forest road which is maintained. Great for an evening drive in most if not any vehicle. Worth noting, there were folks horse back riding on the trail and we also saw a decent amount of deer and even a tortoise on the road.

Easy path, slightly loose rock but nothing too scary.

Overall very easy trail. Highly recommend for the scenery. Only obstacles are small hill climbs and descents but nothing a normal car couldn’t handle. Trees have been cleared from the trail and it is available for exploration. Vehicle used was a Jeep JK.
