Red River Gorge isn't in Northern Kentucky. It's in Eastern Kentucky. This are sits approximately 50-60 miles east of Lexington (depending on what part of the Red River Gorge you are staying in. It is in the Daniel Boone National Forest. The National Forest headquarters are in Winchester, Kentucky. You can get on Google and simply type in "Daniel Boone National Forest". The site will give the rules for back country camping.It will also give you campgrounds you can camp in that aren't super-developed as far as amenties go. Another close-by place is Cave Run Lake, which is also in Daniel Boone National Forest. To get to Cave Run Lake you would simply take I-75 south and then I- 64 east. You can get to Red River Gorge by going the same way, but when you got to Winchester, Kentucky on I-64 you would then take the Mountain Parkway. You can fish at Cave Run and repel in the Red River Gorge. And actually both areas within the Daniel Boone National Forest are only about 30 miles apart.
Ohio has Wayne National Forest, but it doesn't have these features as far as I klnow. You could get to Wayne National Forest at its southerly most point by driving on U.S. 52 east. You might try typing Wayne National Forest on Google and see what that brings up.
