Rules for State Nature Preserves and State Natural Areas:
By observing these rules you will be helping to protect Kentucky's natural heritage.

• Preserves are open sunrise to sunset.
• Trails are open to foot traffic only.  The established trail system provides you with the safest and best way to travel through the preserve.  Visitors must not re-route or shortcut the existing trail system.
• Horses, bicycles, climbing and rappelling are not permitted in nature preserves because of their destructive impacts to the trails and natural features.
• Motorized vehicles are not permitted.
• Possession of drugs or alcohol is prohibited.
• Collecting plants, animals, rocks, artifacts or wood reduces those things that are needed to maintain nature's delicate balance.  Therefore, collecting, hunting and trapping are prohibited on dedicated state nature preserves.
• To ensure the natural beauty of each preserve and to promote visitor safety and enjoyment, camping, picnicking, building fires, audio equipment and pets are not permitted.
• Remember to carry out your trash.

Rules for state nature preserves are established by 400 KAR 2:090.  Any person in violation of this regulation may be liable for a civil penalty of $1,000 per day and possible criminal prosecution as provided for in KRS224.
