Located in the mountains of eastern
Kentucky, the Daniel Boone National Forest encompasses over
697,902 acres of land. This land is generally rugged and
characterized by steep forested ridges, narrow valleys, and over
3,400 miles of cliffline. The forest contains two large lakes
(Cave Run Lake and Laurel River Lake), many rivers and streams,
two wilderness areas, and the 269-mile Sheltowee Trace National
Recreation Trail that extends across the length of the forest.
Abundant wildlife, lush vegetation, magnificent scenery, and
numerous recreation opportunities offer visitors much to enjoy.
The Daniel Boone National Forest is
one of the most heavily used forests in the South, with over 5
million visitors annually. People come here to backpack, camp,
picnic, rock climb, boat, hunt, fish, ride and relax.
