Betsy and I met up with our blog friends Patti and Neal at Pine Mountain Resort State Park in Kentucky last month to enjoy the autumn color and do some hiking. Patti and Neal like to hike as much as Betsy and I do, so Patti researched waterfalls in the area and found Bad Branch Falls.

We drove to the trailhead after visiting Kingdom Come State Park. The day was overcast and dreary, but that didn’t keep us from starting off up the trail.

We eventually decided that the mile mentioned at the trailhead was measured by a crow in flight. But we kept at it and were finally rewarded with our first glimpse of Bad Branch Falls. There wasn’t a great deal of water going over the falls, but it was still pretty.

I got this picture of Patti and Neal at the base of Bad Branch Falls before we started back.

I think it’s a lovely spot!
I’m imagining what it might look like with more water. You’ll have to plan to go back some day.

Wonderful pictures, George. I am glad you found the falls—too bad we can’t fly like a crow. LOL MB

The falls is very pretty. I would love to see it when more water comes over it. That would be quite a sight.

I love the side of the cliff! What makes it bad?

That colorful rock wall that the waterfall flows over would make the hike worthwhile. The photos are beautiful.

I think I like the falls with just that little bit of water!! The second image is my favourite!!

Sounds like it’s not called BAD Branch for nothing – maybe that’s a description of the trail?!?! But you’re right about the falls being pretty!

Beautiful water falls. Your expedition is well rewarded.

The waterfall looks like it drops from a steep rock cliff.

Another great place to explore. So pretty in the fall.
