Horseback Riding to White Rocks

Sand Cave

Hensley Settlement

The massive sandstone outcroppings at White Rocks tower 3,500 feet above sea level. You can enjoy panoramic views of Virginia’s Powell Valley to the south, and Kentucky’s rugged labyrinth of coves and ridges to the north.

An 8-mile round-trip hike brings you to a dramatic 75-foot-high sandstone overhang. A small waterfall flows near the cave entrance most of the year.

You can explore several mountaintop Appalachian farm-steads started by Sherman Hensley in 1903. More than 40 log cabins, barns, and outbuildings show how pioneers forged a new life with limited tools in tough backcountry conditions.

Plan to dismount and visit the Settlement on foot.

Carry plenty of water to drink.

Let someone know your plans before riding on the mountain alone.

Match your clothing and equipment to mountain travel.

Cumberland Mountain weather can become extreme without much warning.

Stay on horse trails to limit erosion damage.

Backcountry camping permits are required. If you overnight in the back-country, camp only at designated sites. Check in with a park ranger at the visitor centers to fill out a free permit.

Metal detectors, fireworks, weapons, and traps are prohibited.

Leave plants, animals, and cultural features as you found them.

Use campfires responsibly.

If you pack it in, plan to pack it out.

Know Before You Go

Westbound settlers on the Wilderness Road in the late 1700s welcomed their first sight of White Rocks. This bright sandstone beacon was a well known signpost that Cumberland Gap was only another day’s walking away. But few—if any—of those travelers actually took the time to walk or ride up to White Rocks.

Riders today enjoy the three-mile, one-way trail that climbs some 2,000 feet from here to the views atop the wide sandstone cliffs. To see Sand Cave and Hensley Settlement, favorite destinations that you can also reach from this trailhead, plan to dismount and explore on foot.

Jakle’s Lagoon Trailhead

San Juan Island National Historical Park National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior

Jakle’s Lagoon bears the family name of George Jakle, a former American Camp soldier who with his wife owned a nearby farm. But Jakle’s ownership was in dispute. In 1875 the U.S. Army abandoned the American Camp area and claimed 640 acres as a military reserve, which contained half of Jakle’s Lagoon and all of the island east of the lagoon, including Jakle’s farm. In 1927 the military reduced its claim and gave George’s widow deed to the farmstead.

The trails that start here pass through the former military reserve and lands farmed by Jakle and others. Nature reigns here today. Much of the land is reclaimed by Douglas fir forest. You’ll find many birds and mammals here. A hike to Mount Finlayson offers sweeping views. Take the self-guiding nature walk (1-mile loop) and learn how plant succession continues to transform the island’s landscape.

Mount Finlayson 290ft 88m

Self-guiding Nature Walk 1-mile (1.6 km) loop trail, easy

Follow the Lagoon Trail to the connector trail with Mount Finlayson Trail. Return via Mount Finlayson Trail. Take and return a trail guide.

Lagoon Trail 3-mile (4.8 km) round-trip, moderate Follow the Lagoon Trail to the end and back.

Mount Finlayson Trail 3-mile (4.8 km) loop hike, moderate

Follow the Mount Finlayson Trail over the peak to the 0.3-mile connector trail, leading to the Lagoon Trail for return.

Look for chocolate lilies along the trails. They grow in prairies or along forest edges.

Camas lilies are found in prairies along the trails. The plant’s bulbs were an important food source for American Indians.

The variety of habitats found along the trails—lagoon, forest, and prairie—offer birders many species to discover, like nesting bald eagles.

Safety Tips

• Wear proper footwear, be prepared for changing weather, and carry water and a map.

• Expect slippery rocks and loose gravel at cliff edges and along trails.

• Be aware of breaking waves—they can knock you down and sweep you out to sea.

Protect the Park

• Keep pets leashed at all times.

• Leave No Trace. Carry out what you carry in.

• Do not feed, disturb, or remove wildlife.

• Leave plants, rocks, and other natural or historic features where you find them.

Everything is here to rejoice the soul… summer warmth…fresh salt tang from the sea… the reddest of sunsets, and unforgettable pictures from any height of granite rock.
