Easy and fun trail with some smaller mud holes and some places to get off into the creeks. When you get to the creek crossing at the end, the trail continues into what is the “Hard 3” section of the KAT.

Caution of how hard the trail gets past the outlined point. We tried to make it to the Daughtry to Sheltowee Trail north of this trail. It starts easy, but is definitely a SXS trail not too far in. Very rutted and tight, will have to turn around and go back out if in OHV for now.

Access Description

The trail starts from KY 89 at the bridge crossing at the Jackson/Rockcastle County line.
