Trail Overview

Redd Hollow Road FS 171 is a gravel forestry route through the southwest corner of the Kentucky section, Kentucky Lake side, of the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area. This route is simple, coming off the ridge top where the Woodland Trace road lays, and following gradually downhill to the west as it cuts through the surrounding woods. Then as the trail flattens out, the self-service campground and Kentucky Lake come into view. The final section of the road loops around a beautiful overlooking hill, featuring individually marked camp spots along the edge of the water. It's a great place to stay and enjoy the sunsets when considering a stay in LBL.
