What travelers are saying

The East and West Pinnacles are the most visited and most visited, but there are other great locations as well such as Indian Fort, Devil's Kitchen, Eagle's Nest, etc.

It’s a nice hike to either pinnacle, not too strenuous but not still challenging.

Our favorite was the Indian Fort Lookout and Eagles Nest trails.

Nice hike for you and your dogs

It is nice hike in wooden area of Berea. The hike is uphill to start, so there is a lot of climbing steps going up and down...I would not recommend for anyone with bad knees or issues with climbing stairs. Dog friendly. View on top...More

Beautiful surprise

Our cousins in Tennessee recommended we go to Berea. When we decided to go and explored the area we found the Pinnacles. We did a hike in the AM and wish we could have spent the whole day doing all the hikes. Unfortunately we were...More

Great Hike area.

Went there with the Grand Kids. I volunteer in Redwood Nat'l Park so this was a good outing. A bit of a climb and some rocks and roots to get over on old knees but not bad. Great, majestic views too. I was surprised to...More

Lots of trails

The Pinnacles are a fantastic place for hiking, picnicking, and even bicycling. On the t ails that climb up into the original Pinnacles bicycles are not allowed, just hikers on foot and pets on leash. However there is a fairly new asphalt trail that leads...More

Any visit to Berea Ky should include a stop here. The Pinnacles of Berea is a wonderful hiking spot. Even if you dont hike the walk is well worth a visit. The old Indian Fort Theater area was the home of the retired outdoor drama...More

The views are out of this world!

Watch the sunrise from the Eagles Nest or travel to the West to watch the sunset. It's a view that cannot be beat in Kentucky! Absolutely breathtaking. In the Summer the copperheads are BAD! Watch what you're doing and where you're going. I enjoy it...More

Hi, i'm not from the area but I vacation there a lot. I have gone to east and west pinnacles plenty of times. As well as India fort lookout and the eagles nest I haven't gone much farther than that. But every time i'm there I see the trail head for "Devil's Kitchen" I have followed it a few time but always find myself confused. Is the kitchen the little cove under the part of the sign or is it farther away? I'm not sure if that's a good enough description but if any locals know or anyone please try your best to explain it thanks.

I believe it's to the right when you get to the top where the sign is, it isn't long at all if I'm remembering correctly. Try the trails near Asbury university, they're pretty good. The All Trails app is nifty to have also... More

If you had to pick (due to time) either the east or west pinnacles trail for the best views, which would it be?

Hi, I am a student at Berea College and this summer I am doing a entrepreneurship program. My cohort and I are conducting research about what makes a hiking experience awesome as one of our projects. My question is, do those who use TripAdvisor use the website link that is associated with the Berea pinnacles to gather information before you come? If not, what do you use or would you use one that was more up to date?

I did use the website however, the directions to get there were not specific. We asked local people working at Boones Hotel, but found that they weren't sure of where to park. I think that many people would benefit from more... More
