The trail is a loop trail beginning at the Ranger Station. The trail has exercise stations with descriptions of the exercise to be done at that station using the facilities located there.

One of the most significant federal land purchase programs after World War II was the Red Bird Purchase Unit in Kentucky. Most of the land was acquired during the late 1960s and early 1970s. These lands today are part of the Redbird Ranger District of the Daniel Boone National Forest. Congressional legislation in the 1890s authorized the creation of national forests from land in the public domain.

The trail was constructed by Youth Conservation Corps workers to standards established in the brochure produced by the Equipment Development Center in Missoula, Montana.
