Confirmed from Baugh Branch Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Baugh Branch Trail
“Clean and it was so peaceful, the sites are far enough away from each other your not to close to other sites.”
“Beautiful view of the Lake at the end from several hundred feet up.”
Trail was easy to navigate. Resting benches along the trail. Good nature walk with an amazing view at the end.
A 1.6 mile on way nature walk. Trail ends with a wonderful view of Lake Cumberland
Beautiful trail in the summer. Very well maintained. Easy to medium difficulty.
An easy-moderate 1.6-mile hike (one-way). Mostly flat. Beautiful view of the Lake at the end from several hundred feet up. Very quiet. I didn't see another soul and the webs I kept running into suggest that it's not too busy even in August.
