Jackson County Kentucky 4X4 Trails
|
Daniel Boone National Forest
Length: 9.5 miles
This route is a section of the Sheltowee Trace National
Recreation Trail. It is a fifty inch wide, single lane trail
with two-way traffic. The grades are moderate (under 30%). Most
of the route is through wooded terrain. Riders will encounter
some areas where the trail passes through briar thickets.
Surface of the trail is relatively smooth with some rocky
sections and mud. It is generally suitable for novice and
intermediate riders. S-Tree Campground is located at the
southern end of the route.
There is no water available at the campground, which is open
year round. This route may be combined with Renfro Loop Trail.
Also, the Turkey Foot Route is only one road mile from the north
terminus of the S-Tree Route.
The route begins at Turkey Foot Campground and ends at US 421.
Directions:
Take US 421 west from McKee for 0.5 mile, then turn left (south)
on KY 89 for 3 miles, turn right (west) on FDR 43. Go one mile,
turn left (south) on FDR 20 and follow the signs.
Please Note: The National Forest Service has implemented new
regulations which will only allow ATV (e.g., 3 & 4 wheelers) and
motorcycles on these trails. Please visit
