The 1.5-mile Laurel Trail and the .25-mile Wildflower Trail lead through a hardwood forest filled with mountain laurel, holly, dogwood and wildflowers. These easy-rated hiking trails provide picturesque views of many rock walls, once used as shelters by Native Americans. The adjacent 788-acre Lake Malone is managed by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife and is popular with boaters and fishermen. Any and all visitors are offered an array of activities from fishing, boating, golfing and hiking. The breath-taking display of colorul fall foliage silhouetted against the water and 50-foot sandstone rock bluffs is as beautiful as any lake in the state. Because of its siren atmosphere, the lake is home to many, who have built beautiful cabins along its shores. Awaiting the public as the south end of the lake is a sumptuous meal at the famous Shady Cliff Restaurant and Boat Dock.
