“Also known as Horse Ridge Road, this is a great ridgetop doubletrack excursion.”

Overview

Dogs: Leashed

Description

Horse Ridge Road follows a long ridge which overlooks Ravenna, Kentucky. This area is predominantly Daniel Boone National Forest, but there are few developed amenities in this part of the Boone.

There are no marked trailheads and this area is isolated so don't leave your car unattended overnight with valuables in it. The best bet is to ride in from Ravenna, Irvine, or Clay City.

This road would be great for bikepacking as it is quiet and forgotten for the most part. There is very little evidence of traffic along this road.
