The Knox Historical Museum submitted information in early 2014 on the Boone Trace in Knox County, Kentucky, to the Boone Society, Inc. headed by Sam Compton.

The information pertained to driving tours of the Trace that enter and exit main roads along U.S. 25E. These are called "loops," and six of them have been identified in Knox County so far.

They are as follows:

1. Ely and Pogue Hollows Loop
    a. Location of site: Enter and exit state route 3085

    b. Why this site should be included:

        i. This road is on the exact path of the old Boone Trace

        ii. At the mount of Ely Hollow was Knox County's first brick home

        iii. At the mouth of Pogue Hollow was Knox County's oldest mill state on the Cumberland River

2. Flat Lick Loop

    a. Location of site: Enter and exit using state route 3085
    b. Why this site should be included:
        i. This route continues near exact path of the old Boone Trace.
        ii. On this route is the Flat Lick pioneer park (Daniel Boone Memorial Park), marking the point at which the Boone Trace takes a different path from the old Warrior's Path, and the later Wilderness Road.
        iii. The Flat Lick area was mapped by John Filson in 1784 as along hunter campsite.

3. Turkey Creek Loop
