Description

Park at Trail 9 (Eagle Falls) and cross KY 90 to start on the trail. Follow signage marked BB. The climb is gradual up to the top of the ridge, but it's steep enough you'll feel it too. Once on an old logging road, the trail passes through a gate and descends to the Cumberland River where it ends on Sheltowee Trace NRT: Section 28.

It's easy enough to head left and follow Sheltowee Trace NRT: Section 28, back to the road, just before the bridge.
