A gem in the eastern Kentucky mountains. Great hiking & spectacular views.

This is a lovely place. Awesome views from the many lookouts. Lots of places to stop and grill out and there is a camping area. Lots of trails, but didn't walk any of them. Lots of bear signs, but unfortunately didn't see any.

Very cool place that still hasn't been trampled by the modern life etc, has more natural gems than most parks but it's size can make oveooked. Being on top of a mountain is a unique plus.
Kingdom Come State Park, with an elevation of 2,700 feet, is the crowning jewel in the crest of Pine Mountain near Cumberland, Kentucky. Admire the beautiful views from one of eight overlooks, hike a trail or fish for bass, crappie and trout in the lake.
Named after the popular Civil War novel, "The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come," by Kentucky author John Fox Jr., the Kingdom Come State Park preserves 1,283 acres of unspoiled wilderness.
Some of the most extraordinary rock formations in the state are featured at this park, including Log Rock, a natural sandstone bridge, and Raven Rock, a giant rock exposure that soars 290 feet into the air at a 45-degree angle!
