Raven Rock Resort

The Raven Rock Resort development will introduce a key outdoor recreation and tourism destination to Jenkins with regional impacts to Eastern Kentucky. The property consists of 844 acres of the beautiful Pine Mountain Range just south of the City of Jenkins. Potential for the property is endless ranging from the creation of event spaces, outdoor recreation amenities, and education and heritage celebration opportunities.

A lodge will be constructed on the property that will include dining areas, event spaces, a full commercial kitchen and a large outdoor deck overlooking the Appalachian Mountains. The restaurant and event venue located in the lodge will be capable of operating as a daily restaurant for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as well as having space available to host events for more than 100 guests. An administrative office space will serve as the operational center for the resort and a small apartment will be included for maintenance staff that stay overnight in case of on-site emergencies.

A parking lot with more than 100 parking spaces will be available for events and daily use of the lodge and will also serve as a trailhead for the approximately 50 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails that will be developed on the property.

The property will also include the development of several overnight accommodations ranging from small two person cabins to larger cabins for big groups of people. Other lodging opportunities such as yurts or primitive campsites will also be explored in future phases of the development.

Raven Rock Resort will create jobs and help to diversify the local economy by bringing outside dollars into Jenkins and Letcher County and creating an iconic attraction in Eastern Kentucky.
