Join us for a bikepacking overnighter in the Big South Fork Gorge.
Ian, from the Central Kentucky Bikepackers Facebook group put together this route as a sampling of the trails and gravel in this area. Coincidentally, this route is the eastern 2/3 of the IMBA Epic Loop. The route is 2/3 single track and 1/3 gravel forest roads. The single track consists of multiuse trails (Grand Gap Loop and a section of the John Muir trail) that are open to both hikers and cyclists.
