Trail System

Lake Bluff Trail

This trail, approximately four miles in total length, begins at the Activities Center, follows a meandering path through the cottage areas and campground, and ends at the Overlook with a view of the Lake Cumberland State Dock and the Jamestown Marina. The trail frequently crosses park roads, allowing guests to begin or end their hike at various locations. Hikers will encounter steep slopes and rough grades, and should use caution in these areas.

 

 

Baugh Branch Trail

Located 3.6 miles from Lure Lodge back on the park entrance road, this trail is 1.6 miles in length one-way. Parking is available at this location. Hikers will encounter relatively level terrain with gentle grades except for the end of the trail, which leads up an incline to an overlook of the lake and Baugh Branch to the right.
