Tygarts Creek Trail

Rt. 60 East of Morehead


We're certain of the routing of the trail through 
this area because contemporaneous reports of 
the party pursuing the raiders states that they followed 
a path that paralleled Tripletts Creek.

Tripletts Creek flows down from the east fairly directly 
through a valley that passes Morehead, Kentucky.

There are virtually no alternative routes to or from 
the east through the hills in this area. Topographic maps 
show that hills east of Morehead lay more densely 
on the land, valleys are narrower, and few hollows extend 
in any direct for any significant distance, the 
Tripletts Creek valley being the notable exception.
