Morgan Conservation Park — Attraction in Kentucky

First of all, it's really cool this place exists. It has a variety of habitats, miles of hiking trails, and some interesting features. Many of the trails appeared to be the old farm roads and were well mowed and maintained. I think not a lot of people.go out there, and it suffers for it. There were spiderwebs everywhere along the trails, and the rougher trails were pretty grown up. The grassy and overgrown trails meant we all had at least one tick later despite using DEET. Signage was almost non-existant. We hiked over 3 miles and did not see the overlook (no Hickory trail) the treehouse or the observation tower. Do these things exist?

Thoroughly enjoyed hiking the trails here. A good mix of slopes & terrain - steep spots that will give you a brief workout, followed by gently rolling spots where you can stroll along through the woods and enjoy the natural beauty & wildlife.

Love that they are keeping it as natural as possible with very little man made intrusions and appreciate that patrons are helping to keep this slice of nature completely pristine. Never ran into any other hikers. Loved the seclusion. Will...

217 acres of hiking trails in Oldham KY. This park was once the property of the Morgan family for over 100 years.
