| Cliffline Safety
The clifflines of the Daniel Boone National
Forest are beautiful, but they are also dangerous. Every year, visitors
are injured or killed by a fall from a cliff. For a safe trip, use these
safety tips:
- Avoid camping near the edge of cliffs.
You may be closer to the edge than you realize.
- Alcohol and cliffs don’t mix! If you
drink, avoid getting close to cliffs.
- Foot travel after dark is not safe. If
you must travel after dark, stay in familiar areas and use a
flashlight.
- Plan to arrive at your destination
before dark.
- Watch your footing when walking near
cliffs. Trees and bushes can’t be trusted to hold you if you slip.
- Watch your children carefully, and keep
them close to you at all times. Don't let them run.
