Kyrock is a ghost town in Edmonson County in south central Kentucky, United States.

[3][4][5] Kyrock was one of several other central Edmonson County communities located near Mammoth Cave National Park.

[5] During the Kentucky Rock and Asphalt Company's heyday in the 1920s as Edmonson County's largest local business,[7] the company mined, processed, and shipped hundreds of tons of rock asphalt by means of steamboat transportation on both the Nolin and Green Rivers.

[3][9] The asphalt rock from Kyrock was also used to pave the streets of some of the world's major cities such as Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Havana, Cuba.

[11] The company stayed open for a total of forty years, mostly due to its heavy promotions and advertising in many newspapers and trade publications, not only becoming the state's most successful asphalt mine during that period, but also the world's largest producer of natural rock asphalt.

[15] Aside from the original water tower, the only remnants of the town in the present day is a concrete foundation for a swinging footbridge over Pigeon Creek.

In addition to the Nolin River, Kyrock was also served with a ferry that connected the town to Whistle Mountain, and eventually to areas along what is now KY 728 into the northeastern portion of the county.
