Pine Mountain State Resort Park is offering a great weekend opportunity for anyone interested in fall colors and wildlife viewing with its Hawktoberfest Oct. 1-3.

Guests can immerse themselves in the changing array of fall foliage and watchable wildlife during the peak of autumn raptor migration. The weekend features a wide variety of family activities, programs and presentations offered concurrently at both Pine Mountain State Resort Park and Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, just 10 miles south of Pine Mountain. Participation in all activities and programs at both parks is free.
Offerings will include observation techniques, raptor identification, morning birding walks, live birds of prey shows, a guided hawk watch from atop lofty Pinnacle Overlook, children’s activities and much more. Don’t miss this opportunity for fall fun in the mountains!
Pine Mountain State Resort Park encompasses more than 1,500 acres with more than half dedicated as a state nature preserve. The park features scenic landscapes, old growth forest and generous wildlife viewing opportunities. Enjoy a panoramic mountain view while dining in the First Frontier Restaurant. Lodging is also available in the Herndon J. Evans Lodge, contemporary cottages or rustic log cabins. Pine Mountain was established as the state’s first state park in 1924 and is regarded as one of Kentucky’s last great natural places.
