Story:
Knowing that it was going to rain the entire weekend, I took off work on Friday (April 30, 2010) to go hiking. I ended up at Grayson Lake State Park. Other than the golf course, Lick Falls is the only trail they have, besides the .8 mile Beech - Hemlock Trail. (The 2 can be combined for an extended hike).
The waterfall is nice, but difficult to get a picture of without falling off the cliff. Try going on a pretty day after a rain. Apparently the flow of the falls depends on the amount of rain, and they become non-existant during dry times.
This hike is described in the book Hiking Kenucky: A Guide to Kenucky's Greatest Hiking Adventures by Michael H. Brown. It is listed as Hike #3.

Tips:
Read the description in the book before the hike. The trail isn't well marked. The blazes are orange & yellow, sometimes just yellow, and one point blue and yellow. But it would be hard to get lost as there is really just the 2 trails. The worst that would happen would be that you miss the trail exit, and end up with the 4 mile hike instead of the 3.
