A nice area for hiking and/or a picnic lunch. The visitors center has restrooms in the back. Purple thistles were the only pop of color we noticed on our quick visit. We visited the Prather homestead and the few tombstones close by. It was a sunny warm day and we weren’t prepared to hike far. This is a good active family activity.

Beautiful nature preserve with several hiking trails and sights to see including wildlife and water features. It is so close to downtown and a really nice way to get out and see the natural landscape.

Clean, nice park. we stopped here on our way through the area. nice way to stretch our legs and have a picnic

Nice Kentucky River overlook but the red trail was a bit treacherous for a 60Year old with osteoporosis. I had to constantly be looking down for raised tree stumps and roots, as well as rocks. Also the elevation changes are pretty significant. So, this trail was not very enjoyable. The green trail, used for return to the Nature Center and parking lot, was much flatter and didn’t have the rocks and tree stumps so I felt safer. Go for the green if you need a short, safe walk.

Nice sanctuary but maps could be improved. The trail we wanted to walk was closed off and we ended up not where we planned, but it was a nice walk nonetheless. Facilities at the main building are good and a relief since this place is a bit out of town. Would go back if we had more time.
