Tower Rock Trail (#229): This trail is part of the official Red River Gorge trail system. In my opinion, this is one of the more underrated trails of the Gorge! I LOVED this trail from the first time we hiked it! The trailhead is located along Route 715 between the Gladie Visitor Center and the Osborne Bend Trailhead parking area. There is a pull-off parking spot across the road from the trailhead that is big enough for a few cars. The trailhead could be easy to miss, so just keep an eye out for it!
Tower Rock Trail is a relatively easy and short hike to the impressive “Tower Rock”! At only 0.75 miles to the base of the rock (1.5 miles round trip), this is a great hike to add onto the end or beginning of your hiking day! I would also totally recommend this trail for people with kids who like to explore because the area around the base of the rock felt like a huge playground! So much to climb on and explore.
