Logan County Glade SNP
Shooting star (Dodecatheon media) is one of the many wildflowers at Logan County Glade State Nature Preserve.
Dedicated Oct. 24, 1990, Logan County Glade State Nature Preserve is the result of a cooperative effort between the Logan County Fiscal Court and the Commission to protect 41 acres of limestone glades in Russellville. The glade openings occupy the southwest-facing midslope of an 810-foot high knob located within the city limits. The steep rocky slope is dominated by prairie grasses such as little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) and side-oats grama (Bouteloua curtipendula). Rare plants include Carolina larkspur (Delphinium carolinianum), glade violet (Viola egglestonii) and limestone fameflower (Talinum calcaricum). The county and the commission manage this preserve jointly.
