One of the most beautiful places for outdoor recreation in Kentucky is Red River Gorge.
Visitors travel to the gorge for hiking, kayaking, rock climbing, backpacking, ziplining, and more. The gorge is found within the Daniel Boone National Forest and is known for its sandstone arches and cliffs and amazing rock formations. Visitors to the park can also play a round of mini-golf or visit the Reptile Zoo; walk over one of the most famous sandstone arches in the world at Natural Bridge State Park.
Guided services for climbing and rappelling are also available in Capmtom at the Southeast Mountain Guides, and at the Red River Gorge Guides.
There are also several places to eat in Red River Gorge from Steakhouse to Smokehouses, pizza to Mexican.
