The loop's apex is the towering Courthouse Rock, a domed geological formation popular with rock climbers and bouldering enthusiasts. Hikers are taken through the area's beautiful hickory forests and along escarpments providing gorgeous vistas over the surrounding area. This moderately difficult, five-mile loop trail is open year-round and is one of the more popular treks in the park. A cook-off, mushroom hunting demonstration, vendors, and street food are all part of the festivities in this two-day event. This April event celebrates the local morel mushroom and its unique place in Appalachian cooking. Several of the communities surrounding the park host an array of events and celebrations throughout the year, one of the regional favorites being the Mountain Mushroom Festival in Irvine. Spring and fall offer pleasantly crisp temperatures, and lively spring blooms and brilliant autumn displays of orange, red, and yellow foliage bring color to the rolling landscape. The shoulder seasons are ideal times for staying in Red River Gorge cabins. The winters in Daniel Boone National Forest bring snow and lower temperatures that can dip below freezing. The summers in the region tend to be hot and humid, with the occasional thunderstorm rolling across the eastern plains and forests. Also! Get your morning coffee fix at Daniel Boones and take a bag or two home with you.The eastern Kentucky climate is characterized by moderate swings in conditions throughout the year, with short bursts of dramatic weather and consistent precipitation regardless of the season. We loved every second of our time there and will return again. You won’t regret it since there is no shower.
Bring your organic biodegradable soap and just bathe right there in the creek. Multiple small waterfalls and deeper pools at their base are cool and relaxing. I HIGHLY recommend putting in your water shoes or flip flops and walking down the creek. Sitting on the front porch in a hammock chair, sipping a beverage and listening to the creek and the birds is relaxing as well. While there are many attractions nearby, we found the trails onsite to be just perfect. Highly recommend bringing your cast iron cookware for that experience. We cooked every meal over an open fire next to the creek. All the pots and pans and utensils needed are there too. There is a hot plate, toaster oven, fridge and hot and cold water. Clean, comfortable, and stocked with the essentials. Looking for seclusion, serenity, and beauty? You’ll find it here. We stayed at Cozy Creek and couldn’t have been happier.
