Dawkins Line Rail Trail<p></p>The entire 36 miles of the trail, stretching from Hagerhill in Johnson County to Evanston in Breathitt County, is now open to hikers, bikers, and horseback riders. The first 25 miles up to Tip Top Tunnel features 24 trestles and the 662-foot Gun Creek Tunnel. While the final 11 miles is now complete, Tip Top Tunnel is not open; thus, the Evanston side is only accessible from Breathitt County. Parking is available at Jenny’s Creek, Swamp Branch, Royalton, and Jane Beshear trailheads.

Dawkins Line Rail Trail<p>Currently, the Dawkins Line Rail Trail is 18 miles long. An additional 18 miles will be added in the second phase of the trail work — when completed, the path will be 36 miles. This trail, built on top of rails from an out-of-use rail bed, is a major attraction for walkers, bicyclists and horseback riders from all over Kentucky and beyond. Many come to ride or walk with friends and others incorporate it into their daily active routines.<br><br></p>
