Ashland, a small town in extreme eastern Kentucky, perches on the banks of the Ohio River. The city's downtown features large, ornate homes built by early industrialists.
The trail runs parallel to Dog Slaughter Creek through dense stands of hemlock and rhododendron. At 2.2 miles, a bridge crosses the creek and leads to another trailhead 50 yards up the trail. There is a 15 foot waterfall near the mouth of the creek. The last 0.2 miles of trail meander over and around massive boulders.
