Breaks Interstate Park

  • address 627 Commission Cir, , Breaks, VA 2460737.2861769-82.2951987

Breaks Interstate Park is a bi-state state park located partly in southeastern Kentucky and mostly in southwestern Virginia, in the Jefferson National Forest, at the northeastern terminus of Pine Mountain. Rather than their respective state park systems, it is instead administered by an interstate compact between the states of Virginia and Kentucky. It is one of several interstate parks in the United States, but only one of two operated jointly under a compact rather than as two separate state park units. The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation and the Kentucky Department of Parks are still major partner organizations, however.

The Breaks is also referred as the “Grand Canyon of the South”, through which the Russell Fork river and Clinchfield Railroad (now the CSX Transportation Kingsport Subdivision) run. It is accessed via highway 80 (Virginia 80 and Kentucky 80), between Haysi, Virginia, and Elkhorn City, Kentucky, and passes through the community of Breaks, Virginia, east of the park.

Broken Throne Brewing – Taproom

  • address 121 Main Street, Pikeville, KY 4150137.4783713-82.5183723

We understand the busy life of being a parent and sometimes it’s nice to head down to the brewery for a pint to relax. For those that wish to bring their children to the brewery, we do allow those under 21 with their parents until 10 pm. After 10pm nightly we are 21+ only. Although we will not serve alcohol to minors, we try to keep a rotating non-alcoholic house made soda for our guests.

Unaccompanied minors are not allowed at the brewery at any time.

Being small is a big task. For that reason, we don’t have the room for a full kitchen. Our beers are made to eat with so we encourage you to bring your own food or order in from the many places around town that deliver. Here is a short list below of some places nearby that deliver to the taproom.
