Quiet Trails SNP
Dedicated March 4, 1992, Quiet Trails State Nature Preserve consists of 165 acres of ridges and ravines bordering the Licking River in Harrison County. This area was donated to the Commonwealth of Kentucky by Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Wiglesworth Jr. For years the property was set aside as a private nature sanctuary and was utilized by local Scout troops, schools and private organizations for nature study and as a place for quiet reflection. The diversity of birds, trees and wildflowers represent the richness of the Bluegrass fauna and flora. The Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission manages this area primarily for environmental education and passive recreation. The preserve is also a Watchable Wildlife Site.
