If you love bird watching, this is the place for you!

Cave Run Cabins and Brownwood B&B is located just across the road from the Minor E Clark Fish Hatchery, which is the second largest hatchery in the Commonwealth of Kentucky! In this area of the Daniel Boone National Forest and Cave Run Lake, there are over 300 different species of birds to be found! It's one of the highest concentrations of different bird species in North America. We would love to see you here!
