On Saturday June 11th, join us for a 1.2 mile out-and-back trail and tour of the Pinnacle Knob 1937 Fire Tower!

Come see the beauty of Kentucky like you’ve never seen before, while learning the detailed history of the tower and how it was utilized. The Pinnacle Knob Fire Tower, USFS R-8 model 14’x14’ live-in cab on a 40’ steel tower, is the last of its kind in Kentucky. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1937 on the Cumberland Falls State Park, it overlooks a part of the Daniel Boone National Forest. It was abandoned in the 1960s but was restored and reopened for tours in 2008 as a state park historic site.
