Pine Mountain State Scenic Trail

Kentucky

About

Pine Mountain State Scenic Trail is a 2,037-acre Kentucky state park managed by the state park agency. It sits about 3 miles from the town of Pineville. The best season for a visit is fall. A nearby weather station in Barbourville records typical October highs around 71°F and lows near 44°F, and September has the fewest wet days of the year. That station sits at 990 feet, so temperatures higher on the mountain likely run cooler. Several trails lie close by. Chained Rock Trail is under 3 miles away and Laurel Cove Trail is about 3 miles away. Clear Creek Fitness Trail and Ridge Trail are a bit farther out, within roughly 9 miles.
