Chained Rock
Pineville, KY
Chained Rock today is reached by a half-mile wooded trail from a mountaintop parking lot. That sounds easier than it is. By the time you get to the rock -- 200 feet long and 75 feet wide -- it's clear that climbing to the actual chain is not something for the dizzy or the weak. Nonprofit Member.

Tri-State Peak is a mountain located in the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, near the "saddle" of the gap. It gets its name from being on the tri-point of the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia.
The elevation at the tri-state marker is 1,990 feet (607 m).[1] The marker can be accessed via the "tri-state peak trail," (via connections with the Gap trail and the Object Lesson Road trail) and is about 1.2 miles from the park's visitor's center.[2]
The site also includes a marker denoting the location as being on the "Royal Colonial Boundary of 1665," which was marked by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Well Being Conference Center is a non-profit, non-affiliated and non-denominational foundation. The cabins are quite comfortable but do not include phone service, TV, internet, stereo systems, etc. Guests are asked not to bring alcohol or pets or illicit drugs onto on the property and smoking is not allowed in any building (including decks and patios). In short, these facilities are intended to provide an opportunity to enjoy the simplicity and freshness of Nature, to steep yourself in the stillness here, and to enjoy honest-to-goodness, non-electronic recreation such as kayaking on the Powell River, hiking to the top of the hill to see the mountains roll off into the blue/green distance, watching deer graze, being stunned by the beauty of a woodland wildflower, or hearing the primeval sound of a Pileated Woodpecker.

Known as the "Niagara of the South," our most visited wonder, Cumberland Falls, is a 125 feet wide waterfall which plunges into a scenic, boulder strewn gorge. Imagine standing on a cliff, just feet from where the Cumberland River pours over a 90 feet drop; while standing on a platform at the base of the falls, crashing water sprinkles your face with a fine mist; and from the Eagle Falls Trail, overlooks high in the mountains provide breathtaking views and incomparable photo opportunities.
