A vast and rugged stretch of eastern Kentucky, Daniel Boone National Forest is a haven for hikers, climbers, and paddlers. From the sandstone arches of Red River Gorge to the peaceful trails around Cave Run Lake, there's something for every pace. Remote campsites, dense forests, and dramatic overlooks make this a great spot for multi-day adventures. Named in honor of Daniel Boone, a well-known explorer of the region.

The forest spans a large area and blends with private lands and small communities. Even where it crosses into private property, much of the landscape remains forested and wild.
