Princess Falls Trailhead — Attraction in Kentucky

This was a great and inexpensive family adventure. The hike was very nice. The trail only has a few small inclines, none more than 20 yards or so. The trail did get narrow for a little way, partly due to downed trees that had been cut away. We seen several people walking their dogs and several families with small children along the way. The area we live in is naturally beautiful and this is no exception, if you enjoy being outdoors and taking in the beauty of our forest environment this is a must. The trail does have some muddy spots in it but they weren't bad most of them can be avoided. At the junction of lick creek the trail isn't clearly marked and I was expecting that from other reviews, I think the reviews made it more confusing. The trail is straight ahead, never crossing the wooden bridge, and it is up a short hill. The trail trough that part is quite narrow. If you go down to the water below the falls it is quite steep but it's not much bigger that climbing down a step ladder, and has "steps" made. My family enjoyed it so much, we will definitely be...

Princess Falls is beautiful, but please know the directions are incorrect at this time. The road google tells you to turn right on is incorrect (there is no access to it at all from here), instead of turning you need to go approx 1.5 miles further down the road (if coming in from highway 27 side, if coming from Monticello side you’ve already passed it and need to turn and go back down the hill) and when you come to the bridge at the bottom turn right into the Yamacraw Day Use Area, and the trail to get to it begins there.

*it has now been fixed to take you by the bridge to the trailhead which is located at the Yamacraw Day Use Area. Follow Sheltowee Trace trail #100 east for a little over 0.5 miles until you reach the foot bridge that crosses Lick Creek. Do not cross the bridge, just bear right and continue east on Lick Creek Trail #631. You’ll see Princess Falls after...

After a visit to Yahoo Falls, we parked at Yamacraw Bridge to hike to the waterfalls on Lick Creek. Sheltowee Trace Trail follows the river about a mile to Lick Creek. Right before, the trail passes a small tributary, where Julia Lynn Falls is. At Lick Creek, turn right onto Lick Creek Trail and come to Princess Falls shortly. The water drops over a big river-wide ledge and its a good place to wade if the weather is warm. The trail continues past here for about another mile to a split. Go right on Lick Creek Falls Trail to reach the waterfall. It's much higher, but on a smaller tributary so looks best...
