The Daniel Boone Backcountry Byway (DBBB) Event is a must-attend for off-road and overlanding enthusiasts looking to experience the rugged terrain and natural beauty of Eastern Kentucky. Centered around the iconic trails of the Daniel Boone National Forest and Red River Gorge area, this event offers a weekend of adventure, connection, and exploration.
Participants can expect guided trail rides across the scenic DBBB route, which includes a mix of rocky paths, creek crossings, forested roads, and technical off-road challenges suitable for high-clearance 4x4 vehicles. It's the perfect event for those looking to test their skills, explore Kentucky’s wild backcountry, and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow adventurers.
In addition to trail riding, the event often includes camping, vendors, local food trucks, giveaways, and community campfires—creating a well-rounded outdoor experience for individuals, families, and groups. It's a chance to meet like-minded people, learn more about sustainable trail use, and support the local community and preservation efforts.
