Goat Path is a short, easy mountain biking route in Kentucky, about 0.6 miles from the town of Park Hills. It is an out-and-back ride of roughly half a mile, with a low point of 664 feet and a high of 701 feet, so the climb is only about 27 feet one way. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cheviot, Ohio, show October highs around 66°F with lows near 45°F, and May highs around 74°F. The station sits about 190 feet higher than the route, so temperatures on the path run a little warmer. The Benny Vastine Nature Trail is just 0.2 miles away, and the Emergency Access Trail and Bates-Coombs Loop are both about 0.4 miles off. For climbing, Purple Bridge is about 2.8 miles away.
