Hiking trails in Northern KY

[themayor]

I just recently became aware of hiking trails at the Highland Cemetery in Ft. Mitchell. They are really nice. Over four miles over 150 acres. So I started wondering if there are some other trails that are well kept secrets in NKY. Anyone have suggestions?

 

Here is a link to the Highland trails if interested.

The landmark tree trail up by Carmel Manor in Ft. Thomas Tower Park is pretty nice - although not as long as the Highland Cemetery trails.

There's also one out in Boone County not too far from the Dinsmore Homestead. Gimme a few and I'll come up with it.

Oh, I believe they re-did the trail(s) around Doe Run Lake recently, as well.

BC cliffs are pretty nice. I went last year, it was muggy and I had drank a pot of coffee. I didn't' feel well climbing the first hill.

Not to thread jack....

Dinsmore Homestead is a Boone County treasure! Check it out!

Interesting trails at Big Bone park as well.

Spent a few hours out there today with my daughter, dad and his pup. Good times...

Great picture!

 

Thanks. She just turned 2 and will hike those trails for 2+ hours. Think we went over 2 miles today with her running up and down the hills until the end. I can see cross country races in her future... :lol:

Did you run distance or sprints while at Lloyd.

Be careful. The path is not always well-marked. I ended up on some guy's farm.

Ran both, but the 400 and 800 were my best events...

Yeah, you're definitely correct about the path not being well marked.
