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.

Fishing
Largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, catfish, and trout are available for fishing in the 3.5-acre mountain lake year-round. A Kentucky Fishing License is required. Click here to purchase a license online at KY Dept. of Fish and Wildlife Resources.

Gift Shop
Overlooking the lake, the gift shop features Kentucky handcrafts and souvenirs, as well as informational boards/displays on the park and black bears in the area.

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.

Horseshoes
Rental equipment is available for horseshoes year-round.

Miniature Golf
A nine-hole miniature golf course is located near the lake and gift shop. This beautiful course follows the natural contours of the hillside overlooking the lake. A $3.00 fee is charged per round.

Outdoor Theater
Located at the base of Raven Rock, the amphitheater is equipped with lighting and seating to accommodate scouting and civic groups seeking a totally natural meeting site. This giant sandstone rockhouse can be reached from a trail at the top of Raven Rock or from the Laurel Trail behind the lake parking area.

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.

Picnicking
The two picnic shelters in the park are equipped with grills and restroom facilities. When not reserved, the shelters may be used by all groups. For large groups wishing to rent a shelter, reservations are accepted up to one year in advance, from March to November. Picnic areas and stone fireplace grills are located throughout the park.
