Boyd Serpent Mound — photo spot in KY-3, Catlettsburg, KY 41129, USA
Boyd Serpent Mound
Boyd Serpent Mound preserves an ancient effigy mound (serpent shape) on a quiet hillside. Photographers can capture the earthwork’s curving “head-to-tail” geometry, especially when raking light reveals texture across grass and soil. Best in late afternoon or after rain when contrast and shadows deepen; weekdays feel calm. Access is via a maintained park area with nearby pull-off parking; entry is typically free/low-fee, but confirm on arrival.
