You don't have to be a seasoned spelunker to see some serious cavern - steer for Mammoth Cave National Park, a cave system that shelters several hundred miles of subterranean tunnels, some of which can be seen on a guided tour.
Follow the gravel road to the powerline. Turn right into the powerline, following the carved steps in the cliff. Turn left, following the cliffline. The trail descends from here until reaching the creek. Rhododendron, mountain laurel and hemlock are abundant along the trail. There are several stream crossings, but there are stepping stones for crossing.
After 2.25 miles, you will reach the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area boundary. The trail continues on for another 1/2 mile before reaching the Sheltowee Trace and the Big South Fork River. If you should choose to continue along the trail, you may exit at either Yamacraw Bridge to the south, or at Alum Ford Boat Ramp to your north.
We offer a compact version of Go-Kentucky for mobile users, allowing you to access just the information you need on the road. Of course, you can still use the full version of Go-Kentucky on your mobile device just as you can on your desktop.
