The Gladie Visitor Center, nestled in the Red River Gorge within the Daniel Boone National Forest, is your first stop for over 40,000 acres of camping, backpacking, hiking, and boating. There are over 100 natural sandstone arches within the Red River Gorge, and because of the multitude of sandstone cliffs and wall faces, this area has become home to some of the best rocking climbing in the world!

Within the visitor center, you’ll find area information, safety notifications, trails maps, and souvenirs to commemorate your trip to this amazing natural area. Gladie has two short nature trails that will begin to introduce you to the wider world of the Red River Gorge. Make the drive to Gladie, and you’ll be in for the adventure of a lifetime…

Today is Giving Tuesday, a global celebration of generosity, and this year is the most important in FIND Outdoors' history.

In 2025, FIND Outdoors re-invested more than $4,000,000 into the stewardship of public lands, served more than 380,000 individuals, and provided over 20,000 youth with educational programming.

These impactful projects are only possible due to the support of generous individuals like you. Your donations allow for major site improvements, educational programs, and support the work that FIND Outdoors provides to communities across the southeast.

This Giving Tuesday, donations over $50 will receive a custom engraved FIND Outdoors mug, and donations over $100 will receive an annual pass to your favorite FIND Outdoors site!

Please consider giving back to the public lands that give you so much joy, peace, and happiness this holiday season.
