Kentucky Route 26 (KY 26) serves as a shorter alternate route for traffic using US 25W between Williamsburg and Corbin in Whitley County. The southern terminus of KY 26 is at US 25W north of Williamsburg, and its northern terminus is also at US 25W, this time in Corbin. Traveling from Williamsburg, while US 25W treks northwesterly past I-75 in the direction of Cumberland Falls State Resort Park, then comes back in a northeasterly direction, crossing I-75 again on the way into Corbin, KY 26 stays on the east side of I-75 for its entirety, providing a more direct path between the two cities.
KY 26 begins at an intersection with US 25W north of Williamsburg in Whitley County, heading northeast as a two-lane undivided road. The route heads through wooded areas with some fields and residences, coming to a junction with the western terminus of KY 779. The road curves north through more rural areas and passes through Wofford before crossing a CSX railroad line. KY 26 turns northeast and heads through more forested areas, where it comes to an intersection with the southern terminus of KY 2985. The road heads to the north and continues through woodland with some fields. The route passes through more rural areas with some development and runs a short distance to the west of the railroad tracks. KY 26 curves northeast and intersects the eastern terminus of KY 511 in the community of Rockholds. A short distance later, the road comes to a junction with the western terminus of KY 3423.
