Cumberland Gap National Historical Park - Accessibility

At an elevation of 2,440 feet, the Pinnacle Overlook is perhaps the most visited area in the park. A level 1/4-mile paved trail provides access to this overlook, from which visitors have a spectacular view into Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. Accessible restrooms are located near the overlook.

Skyland (Pinnacle) Road leading to the Pinnacle Overlook will be closed February 21, 2006 through July 20, 2006.

Much needed repairs will be made to the road surface, parking areas, drainage systems, retaining walls, and the bridge over Sugar Run Road. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.

Accessible drive-in campsites are available at the park"s Wilderness Road Campground. Surfaces within these sites have been hardened, the height of fire grates has been increased, and picnic tables have been modified. A short, paved trail guides visitors to the campground"s amphitheatre, where park rangers present programs on the cultural and natural history of the park.
