Red River Gorge Scenic Byway
Raven Rock, KY

Raven Rock stands almost as if on guard along the byway. This rock has had an interesting history and continues to be a delight for visitors. The name is said to come from the many flocks of ravens that used the gigantic rock as their roost. Interesting enterprises, such as a caged bear, have been attempted as a means to draw people to the area. Finally the US Forest Service bought Raven Rock to allow visitors to enjoy it.
