Flash Foxy MINI FEST •
RED RIVER GORGE, KY
May 16-18, 2025
For FESTIVAL updates, subscribe to our newsletter + follow us on Instagram @heyflashfoxy.
We’ve been listening to our community; and what we’ve been hearing is a yearning for more opportunities for intimate connection and community building, more opportunities for learning and sharing with and from one another, and finding ways to be able to bring our full selves to climbing and the outdoors.
Historically, our east coast event has traveled every few years, and our dirtbag roots are ready for another change. We spent three years in Chattanooga, then three years in North Conway, and now we’re heading to Kentucky for a brand new event - the Flash Foxy Mini-Fest in the Red River Gorge!
This event will be focused on sport climbing and skill building workshops, but will also include some opportunities for traditional climbing and bouldering. As usual, this event will be open to genderqueer and women climbers.

Google Maps: Lago Linda Hideaway
About the venue: All of our programming, with the exception of clinics and our stewardship projects, will take place at Lago Linda Hideaway. Workshops, demos, board games, and Sunday morning’s community conversation will take place under their big pavilion. Field games and Saturday’s Fireside Chat (Panel) will take place in the grassy open space next to the pavilion. The Shake-Out Lounge is located next to the Pavilion and is a comfortable indoor space with outlets, free WiFi, and tables. NOTE: The Shake-Out Lounge will be open to other campers at Lago Linda Hideaway during the festival.
Bathhouses are located at the front of the property near the Café and by the Bertie Branch primitive camping area.
The roads through Lago Linda are gravel, and these serve as major pathways to and from. The campground where we will be staging is the flattest location and is a combination of grass and gravel. The terrain still undulates but not nearly as much as the other surroundings. Cars can access almost any single nook and corner of the camp ground.
Directions: Take the Exit 33 toward Slade. Turn right onto KY-11 and continue for 14 miles. Turn right into Hwy 498, continue for 2.5 miles. Turn right onto KY-52 W and continue for 2.4 miles. Turn left onto KY-399 S. Follow signs to Lago Linda. There is a large parking lot with marked accessible parking spaces available.
