Chained Rock High on the vaulted slopes of Pine Mountain a large rock looms menacingly over the small town of Pineville, KY. Chained Rock has always been a part of area folklore. As the legend goes, the rock hanging above town could not give way and come tumbling down because it had been 'chained'. In truth, however, the boulder had never been secured. In 1933, the Pineville Rock Club (assisted by the Boy Scouts & Civilian Conservation Corps) changed that! It is rumored the rock was never in real danger of falling and this was all done as a publicity stunt, creating a local tourist attraction. The Chain, 101 feet long with seven pound links, was carried here by a four-mule team in two trips. It is anchored to the rock with pegs 1.5x24” concreted into holes, star drilled by hand.
