Rockcastle Connector Trail #401A

Area Status: Open

Rockcastle Connector Trail #401A, located on London Ranger District , begins just above the boat ramp parking area at Bee Rock Campground and leads upstream 1.25-mile to the mouth of Cane Creek. There is no bridge across the creek, so hikers who wish to continue on the Rockcastle Narrows East Trail or Winding Stair Gap Trail must ford the creek. The trail lies between the cliffline and the backwaters of Lake Cumberland. It passes through mostly beech and hemlock forest.

Bee Rock Campground features camping units on both sides of the Rockcastle River. The Laurel County side is open all year. The Pulaski County side of the campground is open from mid April to mid October; call the London District office for exact dates. Low lying areas are prone to flooding, so be alert for flooding when driving, camping or crossing streams in this area. Swift currents and undertows can make swimming and wading very hazardous.
