United States - Kentucky Whole route

Dawkins Line Rail Trail

Trail conditions in Whole route · model estimate, not a field inspection

WetA few short sections may be wet, but no major muddy areas were detected.

Tip Top Tunnel is not open, so the 25-mile Hagerhill side and final 11-mile Evanston side do not form a through route and the Evanston section must be accessed from Breathitt County. Do not cross barriers or treat modeled conditions as permission to enter the closed tunnel.
