Rock, River and Recreation in Red River Gorge

With all the outdoor adventure available just off the road, it would be a shame to spend all your time on the Red River Gorge Scenic Byway within the confines of your car. The diverse terrain, sheer cliffs, and rolling river should be experienced first-hand, rather than through the finger-printed and bug-splattered windshield. Red River Gorge is a major stop for outdoor activities like kayaking and canoeing, rock climbing, and epic hiking treks. Campgrounds provide the opportunity to stay as long as you'd like to enjoy the area fully.
