Hike the pinnacles at Berea College's Forest during you stay. Trails are open from dawn to dusk and now has a new forest outreach center for visitors. The pinnacles have various beautiful overlooks of the rocks and mountains of Berea with 6 different trails. The East pinnacle is our favorite trail overlooking the big hill area. This trail is the shortest hike about (4.8 miles) with many trail signs and benches for breaks along the way. This is a must see in Berea and has been named the #1 hike in Kentucky.

Stop by Papa Lenos for pizza and a Ale8. This Italian restaurant has great pizza, pastas, soups, salads, sandwiches, wings and burgers. Papa Lenos is also located the next street over from Boone Tavern.
