Komodo Springs
Private scenic destinations accessible exclusively to Komodo Springs guests.

Signature Waterfall
A hidden gem right on the Komodo Springs property — a short but steep trail leads to a stunning waterfall cascading into a gorgeous turquoise pool, surrounded by rhododendron and sandstone cliffs.
Getting There
Moderate 0.5 mi trail from the main trailhead. Steep descent to the pool. Rock shoes or hiking boots recommended.
Safety
Rocks at the base are slippery when wet. Do not climb the waterfall face. Keep children closely supervised.
Seasonal Notes
Best flow in spring and after rain events. Accessible year-round but trail may be icy in winter.

Scenic Overlook
A breathtaking overlook above the valley below, offering panoramic views of the Red River Gorge. Perfect for sunrise or sunset.
Getting There
Easy 0.75 mi walk from the parking area. Mostly flat with gentle terrain.
Safety
Stay behind the overlook edge. Do not approach unfenced cliff areas.
Seasonal Notes
Open year-round. Fall foliage is exceptional.

Historic Rockhouse
An old moonshiners den sheltered under a massive sandstone rockhouse in a remote area of the property. A piece of Kentucky history hidden in the gorge.
Getting There
Moderate 1.5 mi trail with 300 ft elevation gain. Follow the ridge east from the main trailhead.
Safety
Stay on the marked path. Some exposed cliff edges near the den.
Seasonal Notes
Best visited in spring or fall. Can be muddy after heavy rain.
