Event Details

Pine Mountain is not only one of Kentucky’s most scenic parks, but also a very modern resort with a hint of an historic past. The upper lobby of the Herndon J. Evans Lodge was built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The passage of time has not diminished the beauty and workmanship of the original sandstone and chestnut log construction. Each of the 30 guest rooms features full amenities and a private balcony from which to enjoy the mountain view.  Pet-friendly rooms are now available. Additionally, there are 11 two-bedroom cottages with porches or decks, plus nine one-bedroom cabins with fireplaces and private decks. There is no tent camping available.

Members arriving on Friday we be welcomed to a reception in the Main Lodge. Hot food and cold drinks will be waiting along with a cash bar. The Welcome Reception is a great opportunity to share stories from the trip with new friends and to catch up with old ones.

On Saturday you are free to explore the park’s features like “Chained Rock” and many beautiful overlooks or to the amazing local roads, scenery, and communities. There are a number of easy side trips including the historic Cumberland Gap or the Original Kentucky Fried Chicken Restaurant & Museum!

Whatever you plan for the day, make sure you are back at the main lodge for dinner. Be prepared to share details of your day’s adventure with those at your table and we’ll give away some great door prizes too!
