Waterfall Hikes Near Lexington, KY
within 50 miles
The Bluegrass is mostly gentle limestone, so waterfall hikes from Lexington start where the knobs rise to the south and east. Anglin Falls near Berea is the pick, 1.7 miles out and back with 200 feet of gain through a state nature preserve. Broken Leg Falls drops 60 feet a quarter mile off the road in Menifee County. Dogs are welcome at both. Drennon Falls appears on the list too, though little trail data exists for it.
