Fish Sticks is a short mountain biking route in Kentucky, about 1.3 miles from the town of Jonestown. The climb is almost nonexistent: it's an out-and-back trip of roughly 0.2 miles with no elevation gain, starting and ending at nearly the same level, about 889 feet at the high point and 887 feet at the low. The most comfortable stretch for a ride runs from late spring into early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Lexington show highs around 76°F in May and 80°F in September, with October cooling to about 69°F. September also brings the fewest wet days of the year, around eight. Juice Box sits just 0.1 mile away, and Upper Narrows and Mudslick are each about half a mile off. West Hickman Creek, a canoeing spot, is about 0.3 mile away.
