The circular stone gazebo at the entrance to the park offers a spectacular view of Black Mountain and the town of Cumberland in the valley below. Black Mountain, with an elevation of 4,400 feet, is the highest point in Kentucky. Drive farther up the park road to another stonework viewing platform for even more spectacular mountain vistas. The 14 hiking trails that crisscross nearly 5 miles of rugged mountain terrain provide the opportunity to explore the park's giant rock formations and scenic overlooks. A trail guide publication is available at the park.
Trails are open year-round.
This narrow gravel and blacktop road extends 38 miles along the crest of Pine Mountain from Whitesburg to Harlan. The road traverses the park near the summit of Pine Mountain. Cave Amphitheater Located at the base of Raven Rock, the amphitheater is equipped with lighting and seating to accommodate scouting and civic groups seeking a totally natural meeting site. This giant sandstone rockhouse can be reached from a trail at the top of Raven Rock or from the Laurel Trail behind the lake parking area. Camping The park does not have a campground, but primitive camping is permitted in designated areas.
