Brigadoon State Nature Preserve

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brigadoon State Nature Preserve is located in Barren County, Kentucky adjacent to the Barren River Lake.

With assistance from The Nature Conservancy, 92 acres of mostly mature forest was dedicated into the preserve system on March 14, 1985. Another 88 acres were dedicated on June 12, 2001. Including another one-acre tract, a total of 181 acres (0.73 km²) are protected.

The rich woodlands contain an impressive array of spring wildflowers including several species that are considered rare or uncommon. The preserve also provides habitat for many resident and migratory birds.
