Kingdom Come Scenic Parkway

Welcome!
Mountain FrontierWelcome to our
Cumberland Mountains


The Kingdom Come Scenic Parkway winds between the rugged Pine and Black Mountains where black bear roam on high forested ridges. We are an officially desingnated scenic parkway for automoble recreation between Pineville & Whitesburg, Ky on U.S. Hwy 119.

The heart of the parkway is the pioneer village of Cumberland, and the historic coal camps of Benham and Lynch. The abundant resources found in our mountains made this valley one of the most productive coal camps in the world.

Pine Mountain is the outdoor recreationist's dream. Kingdom Come State Park offers miles of trails and numerous mountian-top views. Visitors can access the Little Shepherd Trail on top of Pine Mountain.
