Lower Howard’s Creek<\/h2>\n

Heritage Park and State Nature Preserve<\/em><\/h3>\n

Location:\u00a0<\/strong>Clark County
\nSize:<\/strong>\u00a0228 acres
\nDirections:\u00a0<\/strong>Lower Howards Creek<\/a><\/p>\n

A tributary to the Kentucky River, Lower Howard’s Creek flows through a deep, twisting gorge.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love this place and it never gets old.<\/strong> \u00a0Hiking, exploring, and wading in this area are the best during any season. \u00a0I personally enjoy early spring and fall.<\/p>\n

Today I took a friend and “interest”.<\/h3>\n

I took a drive\u00a0in my\u00a0Subaru down the winding Athens Boonesboro Rd and stopped shy of the trailhead behind Hall’s On The River.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nThis isn’t the “official” entrance to the reserve but it’s preferred for the route I enjoy the most. \u00a0<\/strong><\/span>
\nOnce you traverse the gravel road up to an archaic picnic area with old wooden benches and picnic tables and hang left you’re led to another gravel road that leads down down down. \u00a0At the bottom you can stay straight and walk a narrow trail to a waterfall.
\nYou can see some of this waterfall on Lower Howard’s with Mr. Kensho<\/a>\u00a0and Lower Howard’s Creek Spring is Coming<\/a>.<\/strong>
\nI’ve heard there are others but I have yet to completely explore the whole area.
