Kiser Hollow Trail is a short, low-elevation mountain biking route in Carter Caves State Resort Park in Kentucky, managed by State Park and Recreation. The trail is an out-and-back that covers about 0.7 miles, with a high point of 1,050 feet and a low of 1,028 feet, so the climb is only about 10 feet. It sits within the park's network of trails, and the 4 C's Trail lies just 0.1 mile away. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 74°F and September highs around 76°F, with September also seeing the fewest wet days of the year. The trail makes an easy pairing with other park routes. The Cave Branch Trail is about 0.4 mile away, and the Horn Hollow Trail and the Carter Caves climbing area are both within about a mile.
