  • Bridges to the Past is a paved trail that will take you along a preserved portion of the historic Louisville and Nashville Turnpike.
    The trail is approximately 2 miles in length and is an easy route along a gently sloped paved road surface. Visitors’ are required to remain on the paved road surface, except where walkways have been provided to allow visitor’s to view the bridges.
    The trail lies in an area of Fort Knox used for military training and as a result is sometimes closed to hikers. The trail may also be closed to hikers during some hunting seasons. The day we visited we heard artillery firing almost constantly.
    The trail is handicapped accessible.
    The Bridges to the Past Walking Trail is located approximately 1 mile south of West Point, Kentucky or 8 miles north of Fort Knox Main Gate on the Louisville Nashville Turnpike, from Highway 31W.
    Below are some point of interest to find along the trail:
    The L & N Turnpike
    There were three stone arch bridges over 150 years old
    Old limestone quarry
    Old mill
    Road to an old school
    Cedar Point where cedars were planted to help erosion
    Dripping Springs where covered wagons would camp
    Siebolt Cave
    Thanks for coming along with us on this hike!

      It was interesting. They need some new signs though. If I hadn’t looked online to see what all was there we wouldn’t have known what to look for.

    🤣🤣Turnpike? I had to laugh, because we have seen some remote turnpikes in our travels more in the eastern states. I look around and we're in the middle of nowhere! Beautiful though. Just like this one and your hike, Terri and Keith. So happy you're okay after your "finer moment," Terri! Enjoyed seeing the stone bridges and we did watch it in full like you mention, Keith! Also loved seeing the old stage coach stop right before seeing Bigfoot. Lovely soldier and we thank her for her service. Beautiful hike! Thanks for bringing us along.
