Adair Countian wants route to Rockhouse bottom

'Would love to share the wonders of KY that my God has created with my kids,' writer thoughtfully notes.
About: Person with ponytail in Rockhouse Doodlebug photo

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

The shading of the rock in the upper right corner does look like the outline of a person. Pretty cool picture. I have been trying to take my daughter and son to Rockhouse bottom for a while now so that they can see how beautiful it is, but I have not been able to find it.

I have only been there once, and it was so amazingly beautiful. Would love to share the wonders of KY that my God has created with my kids. If someone could post great directions on how to get there I would greatly appreciate it. I'm just not having any luck on my own.

The Rock House is approximately 20 miles from Columbia, KY.
One way to get to the Rock House, from Columbia, KY: take KY 55 through Glensfork. About two miles south of Glens Fork, turn right on Crocus Road, KY 1313. You'll pass one of Adair County's most beautiful, ever, homes on the right in Crocus, KY. The next main intersection is Bryan, KY. Bear right on KY 1058. In the ghost town community of Creelsboro, turn right on KY 379 travel about two miles watching for the formation on the left.

We've been checking for a street number and street, but haven't found that yet. That would make finding the formation much easier.

Two other ideas we'd like to pass along:
  1. Stop by the Columbia Chamber of Commerce, 201 Burkesville ST, Columbia, KY. They get many requests for directions to Creelsboro almost daily, Sue Stivers said, and they can show several options for a trip there.
  2. Go to the Hardscratch General Store and Deli at 7694 Highway 55 RD South Columbia, Kentucky 42728. (270) 384-4671. Almost anybody there can give you directions. It's the last store open if one takes the scenic route through Crocus. The Grab All Store is no longer in business.
Finally: Wish some entrepreneur would start a tour service from Columbia to Creelsboro. Maybe a retired couple could swing a 15 passenger bus, with a sound system, learn all the sights along the way, and have a little side income, as well. -CM
