White Sulphur Horse Camp

National Visitor Use Monitoring, Oct 2026-Sept 2027

1/2

From October 2026 through September 2027, survey interviewers will be conducting National Visitor Use Monitoring surveys of Daniel Boone National Forest visitors around the Forest. Surveys are voluntary and all responses are confidential. Surveys take roughly 15 minutes to complete. Survey sites will be clearly marked by orange survey signs and traffic cones. Survey results help us and our local tourism partners better understand our visitors' needs and more effectively plan our recreation offerings.

National Visitor Use Monitoring is a Forest Service program designed to estimate how many people recreate on national forests and grasslands, what activities they engage in while there and how satisfied people were with their visit. These surveys are conducted on a national forest every five years. Results from these surveys help show the characteristics of recreation-related visits to national forests and the benefits recreation brings to all visitors.

White Sulphur Horse Camp, located near Cave Run Lake on the Cumberland District, is developed as a primitive campground for horseback riders. The camp provides access to over 50 miles of multiple-use trails winding along forested hills and limestone ridges. Ideal for individual riders as well as organized groups, the facilities at the horse camp bring riders into the heart of the Daniel Boone National Forest, the Pioneer Weapons Wildlife Management Area, and the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail.
