Pine Mountain State Scenic Trail
Pine Mountain is an ecological treasure in southeastern Kentucky that offers outstanding hiking, birding, and other nature and wildlife viewing opportunities.
The Pine Mountain State Scenic Trail is a key connecting link in the Great Eastern Trail (GET). America’s newest long distance hiking trail stretching from Alabama to New York through nine states and with 1,800 miles of footpaths.
The Trail is also a partner of the Pine Mountain Wildlife Corridor Project. This is the largest landscape level project ever undertaken in the state of Kentucky. The goal is to ensure a forested corridor that connects existing protected areas and maintains the ecological and migratory corridor which is important for bears, flying squirrels, raptors, rare and common songbirds, and numerous other plant and animal life.
