One of the area’s most historically significant trails saw a major renovation recently. 
The Wilderness Road Trail in Cumberland Gap, which leads hikers through the gap that Daniel Boone pioneered, got a new bridge across the creek that intersects the trail. The bridge is located directly below the Gap Cave and is half-way between the gap and the trail head visitor’s center.
According to the maintenance department at the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, the new bridge was installed between Nov. 9 and 13, replacing an older bridge that was in disrepair.
The wooden bridge made out of logs is the only dry route across the creek, which comes from a spring in the mountain and goes sharply downhill by the Iron Furnace and into the town of Cumberland Gap. When the creek is down, hikers can opt for a path beside the bridge.
