Mile 35-32, Cave Run Lakeview & Big Limestone

January 28: Trails above the Morehead District (Cave Run Lake) visitor center snake around some of the tallest knobs in the northern section of the Daniel Boone NF. Big Limestone is 4.5 miles on trail north of the visitor center and has about 750 feet of vertical relief...almost a textbook definition of a mountain. Atop Big Lime (and neighboring Little Lime) are a few large outcroppings of eroded sandstone that could be considered a nice bouldering site if the thrush of undergrowth wasn't so heavy. As one travels southward, the boulders become progressively cliffline and geographically similar to the Red River Gorge. If you're looking for about 100 miles of singletrack and isolation, Cave Run is the destination. Side note: The Sheltowee Trace visits the Morehead District Visitor Center at Cave Run Lake. This is one of three visitor centers the trace crosses and is a good drop point.
