This getaway is close to the Red River Gorge & located in the Daniel Boone National Forest which covers more than 700,000 acres along the Appalachian Mountain foothills and the Cumberland Plateau & containing an estimated 500 miles of trails through rugged terrain made of sandstone cliffs and exposed limestone rock faces. This trail network is larger than any other in Kentucky. Home to the largest collection of natural arches and bridges found east of the Rocky Mountains, the sandstone cliffs offer a lifetime of climbing opportunities at all levels & is one of the most popular climbing meccas east of the Mississippi. Among these cliffs is "Natural Bridge," a magnificent arch, which is 65 feet tall and 78 feet long, is one of the most famous natural sandstone arches.

Cave Run Lake is even closer, where you can enjoy boating, water sports, sailing, swimming & fishing, and is almost completely within the Daniel Boone National Forest. The Kentucky State record for the largest muskie is here, and it is still "The Muskie Capital of the South"!
