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 42 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.
