Trails
Biking
The Little Shepherd Trail is a narrow gravel and blacktop road that extends 38 miles along the crest of Pine Mountain from Whitesburg to Harlan. The road traverses the park near the summit of Pine Mountain. This is an excellent scenic route for mountain bikes, cars (remember the gravel), and light trucks.
Hiking
The 14 hiking trails that crisscross nearly 5 miles of rugged mountain terrain provide the opportunity to explore the park's giant rock formations and scenic overlooks. All of the trails are fairly short in length (1/8-7/8 mile), but many trail routes may be combined for hikes of varying lengths and difficulty. A trail guide publication is available at the park. Trails are open year-round.
Boating and paddling
Pedal Boating
Pedal boat rental is available for use on the 3.5-acre lake. Open Monday through Sunday, March to November. A rental fee is charged.
Fishing
Fishing
Largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, catfish, and trout are available for fishing in the 3.5-acre mountain lake year-round.
A state fishing license is usually required.
