(40376) Slade - 24 L&E Railroad Place

This rest area is located in the Red River Gorge. It is a national geological zone. Many climbing sites and hiking trails are nearby. You can get a 3 day overnight parking pass here, in the Gorge, right now, May 2022, for $7. Miguels Pizza is a hot spot to eat and is just down the road going south about 2 miles. Natural Bridge State Park is well worth a visit. The natural bridge is on top of a mountain so be prepared for a steep hike. You can also reach the summit by using a lift, but you will have to buy a ticket. Dogs are not allowed on hikes in Natural Bridge State Park, but in other areas they are fine. In the Gorge there is a tunnel road but be aware. The clearance says 12 feet. Check to make sure of clearance for your vehicle before entering.
