Located near the boundary of the Daniel Boone National Forest, this is the official northern trailhead for the Sheltowee Trace Trail. This trail is over 300 miles long, but from here you can do anything from an easy day ride, a multi-day bikepacking trip, or a complete thru-ride.

Located near the northern terminus of the Sheltowee Trace Trail, Morehead blends outdoor access with small-town warmth. Visitors can head to Main Street, where they can find local shops and cozy cafés, and stretch their legs before heading into the woodlands on one of the many nearby trails. Just outside town, Cave Run Lake offers fishing, paddling, and scenic lakeside trails, while nearby ridge hikes and mountain bike routes wind through the Daniel Boone National Forest. Don’t miss the historic downtown district and the Kentucky Folk Art Center for a dose of Appalachian culture.

Built by the Army Corps of Engineers and finished in 1969, the Cave Run Lake Dam is an interesting site to take in surrounded by dramatic, variable landscapes.

Morehead is a designated Kentucky Trail Town and a key resupply point along the Sheltowee Trace Trail. The trail passes directly through downtown, offering convenient access to grocery stores, restaurants, lodging, and the Morehead Railroad & Historical Museum. It’s an ideal spot to rest, refuel, and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of the community. For a good meal, try Melini Cucina for hearty Italian dishes or Root-A-Bakers for fresh sandwiches and well-served slices of cake.

Eagle Lake sits on the outskirts of Morehead, making it an ideal spot for a short detour or a break along the trail. There’s a short loop around the lake with benches and views, and it's a nice place to watch the sunset or spot wildlife. Great for an easy walk if you're staying in town and also a good option to camp if you are hiking the Sheltowee Trace Trail.
