Route description
KY 209 begins at an intersection with U.S. Route 60 (US 60) and KY 182 north-northeast of Counts Crossroads, within Carter County. It travels to the northwest and curves to the north-northeast.

When it leaves the park, it travels along the extreme western edge of the park. It curves back to the north-northwest and enters the park proper.

It heads to the east, leaves the park, and meets its northern terminus, a second intersection with KY 182 (Carter Caves Road).[1]
