The North/South Trail at LBL spans almost the entire length of LBL. The northern portion of the trail consists mainly of single track trails meandering from shoreline to heavily wooded ridges. The southern portion consists mainly of old, double-track roadbeds with some single-track corridors interspersed. The trail meanders over and through heavily wooded ridges, wildlife clearings, and mature bottomland hardwood stands. The N/S Trail intersects many of LBL’s designated roads that offer several loop opportunities and access points to hike the trail piece by piece. The N/S Trail is a multiple-use trail. One the northern portion, bicyclists and hikers share the same trail. On the southern portion, horseback riders and hikers share the same trail.
The trail has varied in length since it was established in the early 1970's. Currently, the NS Trail is 58 miles long, and begins/ends at the North and South Welcome Stations, respectively . These caches will be placed along the former N/S Trail which began at the Kentucky Lake Drive Trailhead and ended at the South Welcome Station Trailhead some
65 miles later. Each cache will be near as many of the 50 points on the original map as can be placed within Groundspeak guidelines.
