Winter is a great time to enjoy the view of the Kentucky River Palisades. Join us as we descend 300' from the uplands of Floracliff along the old road to the Kentucky River floodplain. We'll walk through river bottoms where farmers once grew corn, tobacco, and hemp, visit a large pawpaw patch, and see the old house that was built after another washed away in the flood of 1937.

The earliest of spring wildflowers may be peeping out from under the leaves for this late winter hike. Join us as we explore a few of Vicki's favorite trails and celebrate the signs of the season.

This hike will feature the Kentucky River, Elk Lick Falls, Elk Lick Creek, and trees dating to the 1600s. We may even see some early spring wildflowers such as hepatica, purple cress, and snow trillium.
