Scenic Kentucky: Chained Rock
2024-05-20 - Bell Co., KY - Photo by Graham Waggener
Overlooking the Kentucky Ridge State Forest, Pine Mountain State Resort Park was Kentucky's 'first' state park, established in 1924. Among the hiking trails in the park is the Chained Rock Trail, which leads to a large rock outcropping that looms over the small town of Pineville, KY. Local legend has it that parents used to reassure the children of Pineville that the rocks couldn't fall "because they were chained to the mountain."
According to a post at appalachianhistory.net, "the story of the chained rock spread to neighboring communities, and people started showing up in town inquiring about the whereabouts of the chained rock," which in 1933 inspired the locals to turn the folklore into reality by purchasing and installing a 3,000-pound chain that had previously been used with a steam shovel in a Pennsylvania quarry.
