If you enjoy nature, hiking, and outdoor discovery, you’re going to love Kentucky’s Sky Bridge Trail. Offering a short, easy hike that’s family-friendly, it takes you from the top to the bottom of the Sky Bridge, where incredible views of the area are visible. Experiencing Kentucky’s untouched beauty at a leisurely pace ensures that you don’t miss anything worth noticing. The rocks that you’ll come across are thousands of years old, proving that Mother Nature is the ultimate landscaper.

Located in the Daniel Boone National Forest, the semi-blacktop loop trail is family-friendly. It features a staircase with 75 stairs on it and overlooks the Red River Gorge. No guardrail exists to hold on to, so exercise extreme caution while walking and hiking the area.

The one-mile trail off Sky Bridge Road isn't for the faint-hearted. It's not the type of hike that you'll find physically challenging. It can be adrenaline-producing, however, to look down from the bridge above.

Kids love to explore the area. It's full of cracks and crevices, perfect for taking a break from hiking. Photo opportunities are plentiful because of the beautiful, untouched scenery present on the trail. It's a spectacular place like no other that will get you to see Kentucky in a brand new light.
