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 begins just above the parking area for the boat ramp at Bee Rock Recreation Area and leads upstream 1.04 miles to the mouth of Cane Creek. There is no bridge across the creek. Hikers who wish to continue on the Rockcastle Narrows East Trail or Winding Stair Gap Trail will need to ford the creek. THIS CREEK CROSSING CAN BE HAZARDOUS AND SHOULD NOT BE ATTEMPTED DURING HIGH WATER. The trail lies between the cliffline and the backwaters of Lake Cumberland. It passes through forests of beech and hemlock.
