Description

State Park

Pine Mountain is one of Kentuckys most scenic parks located in the heart of the Kentucky Ridge State Forest and features some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in the state. The Herndon J. Evans lodge is a very modern resort with a hint of a historic past. The passage of time has not diminished the beauty and workmanship of the original sandstone and chestnut log construction. Pine Mountain was the first state park being established in 1924 and having most of the park constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps - CCC. The park has over 1600 acres with over half being dedicated to a state nature preserve. The Herdon J. Evans Lodge has 30 rooms, and there are 11 two bedroom cottages, 9 one bedroom log cabins with dining facilities, 14 hiking trails and home of the 18-hole Wasioto Winds Golf Course. The park also has meeting and banquet space, along with an outdoor amphitheater.

No camping

There are not designated tent camping areas only the lodge and cottages with reservable picnic areas. Would be awesome if they would add this options for a backpacking overnight option.

Great getaway

Pine Mountain State Resort Park offers some really cool trails and is Kentucky first state park. Pretty rustic and clean cabins. One really cool feature is Chained Rock which is a giant bolder that is tethered to the mountain to protect the small town below in case it falls.

Scenic Cabins, Beautiful Hikes

We stayed in the cabins and they are well-maintained and stocked. Pretty rustic, but the fireplaces are worth it and make it extra cozy. They are also pet-friendly! Our dog loves the outdoors, so it’s always a bonus when we can take her with us. We have been back multiple times. Great hiking, we recommend the trail that leads to where 3 states meet. It’s a fairly easy hike and ends with a great view. We have been multiple times, and each season has it's different appeal of beauty!

Cottages

Lots of events in the park, check the calendar for those you want to see or to avoid. There’s also a golf course, ziplining, and hotel on site. So while the site and views are beautiful we didn’t really find the solitude and nature experience we were looking for. Cottages are very modern, like a hotel room. Definitely worth visiting, especially if you’re not looking to rough it.

Cloudsplitter 50K is the way to see this area. The trails are very challenging , but the view is totally worth it. Very primitive , rocky trail. Walking sticks would be a bonus and carry water a snacks with you to keep your energy up. Primitive camping available spots.
