Parking is at the Peabody Trailhead, about 0.25 miles to the west. KY 66 isn't too busy so riding on the road isn't terrible.

From the Hal Rogers Parkway, take Big Creek Exit #34. Turn right at the end of the exit ramp onto KY 66. Go 0.7 miles (passing under the parkway) to the intersection with US 421/KY 80. Turn right and go 0.8 miles, and then turn left onto KY 66. Continue on KY 66 for 1.7 miles. The Peabody trailhead is on the left, across the river.

Open to motorcycles and e-bikes. Permits are required for OHV use on this trail. $15/day; $60/annual pass. Passes may be purchased at the Redbird Ranger District office or at vendors.

Description

Section 21 of the Redbird Crest Trail is a section of ridgetop singletrack that includes a hill climb (or descent) from the Redbird River.

The trail is marked with orange diamond-shaped blazes. Trail symbols and signs are used at road intersections. Steep terrain in some areas may be challenging for beginners. Inexperienced riders should always be accompanied on the trail.
