Bad Branch Falls is a 2,300-acre
State Nature Preserve. The stream that flows through the preserve,
Bad Branch, is designated a Kentucky Wild River. Why is the stream
called Bad Branch? Because the gorge it cuts on the mountain contains
many treacherous cliffs, waterfalls and boulders. Why else?
A hike to Bad Branch Falls is a most
plesant, although streneous, trek. Visitors pass through large
hemlock stands, rare flowers and plants, and thick tuffs of rhododendrons.
The falls greet you with a thunderous roar and the eerie caw of
ravens can be heard along these enchanted forest trails.
