About Big Clifty
Big Clifty is a quiet rural community in Grayson County, taking its name from the rugged limestone cliffs along Clifty Creek. Sitting along U.S. 62, it offers rolling pastures, wooded acreage, and a relaxed country pace. Residents enjoy peaceful surroundings while staying within an easy drive of Leitchfield for everyday errands, with Elizabethtown just a bit farther east for broader shopping, dining, and job opportunities.
Community life centers around local churches, family farms, and scenic back roads. Outdoor enthusiasts also love the location, which sits within easy reach of both Rough River Lake and Nolin Lake for weekend boating, camping, and fishing. For homebuyers seeking a slower rhythm and room to spread out, Big Clifty provides a welcoming setting in central Kentucky.
