Read MoreThis is the northernmost of the walk-out overlooks at the park and has a great feel to it. Expansive views from north to west-southwest make this a great spot to watch summertime sunsets over Eastern Kentucky. It’s also a great stop for backpackers hiking the Little Shepherd Trail.
Read MoreThough the views at the park are outstanding, Log Rock really is an exceptional arch and worth the visit. This wide span, slender arch is absolutely gorgeous and just beyond it is a large patch of knobby rock ideal to catch some sun and enjoy a picnic. I’ll return just to spend a sunrise at this amazing place.
Read MoreThis short, quarter-mile loop around the small lake is a nice walk with plenty of ducks and a little fishin’ if you like. On this day, there was a family out enjoying themselves with some cane poles, small hooks, and plenty of bluegill.
Read MoreAfter entering the park, there is a nice gazebo with gorgeous views southeast to south a few dozen steps from the parking lot. This is handicap accessible and is a nice spot for sunrise with fog in the valley below.
