Kentucky Route 1 originates at a junction with KY 3, one mile east of Cadmus in Lawrence County. The route continues through Grayson in Carter County to terminate at US 23 in Greenup in Greenup County. Part of the highway is co-signed with the Jenny Wiley Trail. Segments of KY 1 are built upon the old Eastern Kentucky Railroad. KY 1 follows parts of the Little Sandy River and parts of a smaller fork of the Little Sandy called the Little Fork upstream of Grayson. [ [http://fw.ky.gov/ViewMap.aspx?MID=28 ViewMap ] ]

Kentucky Route 1 allows access to Greenbo Lake State Park and River Bend Golf Course, as well to a local covered bridge and the Jesse Stuart Nature Preserve. For general travel between Grayson and Greenup, Kentucky Route 67 is suggested over the much narrower and twisting Route 1.

Between Grayson and Route 3, Caney Falls on the Little Fork of the Little Sandy to the south of the road. [ [http://www.brainygeography.com/features/KY.falls/caneyfalls.html Caney Falls Kentucky ] ]
