Hike to Lick Falls
The Grayson Lake State Park has two trails – the Lick Falls Loop Trail, and the 0.8 mile Beech-Hemlock Forest Trail. Lick Falls is best done after a rain, to make sure the falls are flowing. A trail map of the park can be found here.
Hike to Hickory Flats Firetower

Park infront of the gate (not in the road). Vehicles are not permitted but the Daniel Boone National Forest welcomes foot traffic past this point! Lock up your car, grab your gear and walk around the ga...

The trailhead parking lot is located just off of KY 715. If coming from the North you will cross the Red River at Osborne Bend and continue up the steep hill until the very top. The parking lot access road is in a hairpin curve at the top of the hill. It is marked very well with signs so it is very easy to find!
This trail makes for an excellent rainy day hike due to the fact that it is higher ...
