5 stars for Lilley Cornett woods and guide Robert Brown…read more We took the long walk and were delighted by the variety of trees, understory and vegetation. We were happy to have good weather (end of September) because we climbed a lot during the first half of the hike and were surprised that it seemed more difficult to climb down. The trail looked and felt like a game trail but was not too steep in any area. We were grateful for the restrooms and water fountain at the education center. The roads near the woods are surprisingly good in this remote location. It would be hard to find without a GPS and there is little to no Internet signal in the woods. Robert Brown is a superlative guide. He sets a pace matched to his group and is comfortable to spend a few hours with. He talks about specific trees and can identify any plant of interest. He is a native of Letcher County (home of the woods) and placed the history of the woods in historical and social context. He leads hikes year-round (not the idea you get from the Internet) and his narration reflected his love of the woods. There is no charge for the guided hike. Imagine that! There is no charge for a 6-hour guided hike in an old growth forest with an interesting history of generosity by a local family. Much thanks to Eastern Kentucky University stewards of the woods and to Robert Brown who earned our praise. We were pleased to press on him a generous tip. Be sure to make your reservation and bring the recommended items.

It is on the backroads and not much to see but the visiting center is super inviting and…read moreinteresting. The people who work there really care about the place.
