The Pilot is a monolith of Olympic magnitude and grandeur. It stands in the midst of the Burnett property.  For thousands of years, the Pilot has majestically towered skyward, functioning as a sentinel for the surrounding terrain.  Under the auspicious presence of the Pilot, the Little South Fork of the Cumberland River spanned by an authentic swinging bridge, meanders around and through the Burnett property.  The Pilot and the River are the first two in a multitude of incredible components that comprise and define the Burnett land.

    The Pilot is a big rock -- a landform owing its existence to erosion over a long period of time.  Because it is made up of harder material, the Pilot has endured while the softer material bordering it has blown or washed away.  The Pilot differs from most landforms of this nature because it is honeycombed with numerous caverns.  The ascent to its top culminates in panoramic views, refreshing winds, and a sense of accomplishment.
