Lake Bluff & Baugh Branch Trails - Lake Cumberland State Park, KY

Wednesday, October 22 2025, 9:00 a.m. central time

Lake Cumberland State Resort Park, Jamestown, KY

Total: 4.2 miles or 7.4 both trails
Easy to moderate.
This is a 4.2-mile hike on Lake Bluff Loop Trail. I haven't done this hike, but the park website says it had some beautiful views of the lake and goes through some historic sections of the park that were in use before Wolfe Creek Dam was built. Baugh Branch Trail is 3.2 miles in/out and offers great views of the lake. Hopefully we will still catch some fall colors.

Bring water, lunch, and snacks.
Your well-behaved dog on a leash is welcome.

If you like, we can then drive a short distance to the fabulous Creelsboro Arch on the Cumberland River.

RSVP with integrity. If you RSVP'D "Yes" and discover you cannot go, please change your RSVP to "No" so others aren't standing around the parking waiting on you.
