RV Rental London, KY

Daniel Boone National Forest is situated next to London (London sits right along the eastern boundary); it is a thin stretch of land, starting south of London at Williamsburg, and heading roughly northeast as far as Morehead. The 708,000-acre forest is characterized by rugged terrain; steep forested slopes are interspersed with sandstone cliffs and narrow ravines. Cave Run Lake, Laurel River Lake and Lake Cumberland are all within the park, as well as many rivers and the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail, which extends across the forest from the southernmost tip to the northern tip. Visitors here can hike, ride (mountain bikes, ATVs and horseback), picnic, go boating, fishing, hunting, rock climbing and more. Some of the activities may require permits. Visitors should know and follow the USDA Forest Service's rules while they are here; maps and other information can be had at the London Ranger District office.

Kentucky Ridge State Forest, a 15,251-acre parcel of land, is south and slightly east of London. It is managed to allow sustainable logging along with public access.

ATVs and other off-road vehicles are not allowed in the forest, but visitors can keep their London motorhome rental nearby to have a place to relax when they are finished.
