The Daniel Boone National Forest oversees a trail system that connects recreation opportunities, natural resources, and communities across more than 708,000 acres in Eastern Kentucky. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet recognized the role the Forest plays in the provision and maintenance of regional transportation with a $2.4 million grant to improve the Forest’s motorized and non-motorized trails and trail programs.
The Daniel Boone National Forest Helitack Program marked its 60th anniversary in 2020. This program was the first Helitack Crew established east of the Mississippi River – a milestone for the Forest, Region 8, and the Forest Service Aviation Program. This year we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of our current Forest helibase on Big Swag Ridge. Big Swag Helibase is an all-in-one location that provides rapid response to fires, a base for Forest fuels reduction, and learning opportunities to Forests throughout the region.
