The Pine Mountain Overlooks were a labor of love, created in order for people to be able to come from all over to enjoy the beauty that Letcher county Kentucky provides. \r\n
2. Civil War Fort at Boonesboro
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 15 reviews
The earthwork fortification was built by Union Soldiers to defend the ford and ferry at Boonesboro. A scenic trail provides a beautiful view of the Kentucky River. Self-guided tour. A moderately strenuous, wooded one-mile loop trail that provides panoramic views of the Kentucky River Valley. Pet friendly.

The gun battery never saw action and is actually at Ford, Kentucky, to guard the crossing here on the Kentucky River. Stiff walk up a hill to the gun battery but well worth the climb. Nearby is Fort Booneboro and Kentucky River Museum.
