Daniel Boone National Forest

West of the Appalachian Mountains, the Daniel Boone National Forest encompasses some of the most difficult terrains. Steep wooded slopes, sandstone cliffs, and tight ravines are all waiting to be explored!

The Daniel Boone National Forest is a large area of the property in eastern Kentucky that spans 21 counties and covers more than 708,000 acres. The park's most notable feature is its diverse landscape, which includes over 3,400 kilometers of sandstone cliffs, gorges, and ravines carved by rivers and streams, as well as the 65-foot-high and 75-foot-wide Natural Bridge. It's only one of the park's many strange rock formations, formed by the erosive forces of wind and water. The Sheltowee Trace path, which runs for 273 miles across Daniel Boone National Forest, is the longest of the park's many trails. The Barren Folk Accessible Heritage Route, which features a 0.75-mile paved trail, is the closest to Whitley City and tells the story of Barren Folk Mining and Coal and the hundreds of people who lived in the isolated mining town.
