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.

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.
