Birding
The Cumberland Plateau hosts species found nowhere else in the state. The elevation makes it suitable for many breeding passerines typically found in northerly locations. Specialties of the region include breeding warblers, ruffed grouse, and ravens, among others. In spring, the park witnesses the peak migration of warblers through the mountains near the end of April. A good variety of less commonly observed Neotropical migrant birds are observed nesting in summer.
Gift Shop
A small selection of Kentucky-made candies, jellies, and souvenirs are available for purchase in the lobby.
Golf
The resort is home to the championship Wasioto Winds 18-hole golf course. The course, nationally ranked by Golf Digest in 2004, is a links-style course in the mountains. The course features spectacular scenery, wide cart paths, a practice range, practice putting greens, and an indoor training center. Golf packages are offered year-round. For more information, call the course Pro Shop at 606-337-1066 or 1-800-814-8002. For more info about this course CLICK HERE.
