Kentucky Wetlands are remarkable places-precious and irreplaceable ecosystems that serve as cleansing filters for our water, buffers against floods, and nurseries and habitats for multitudes of species. Teeming with rare and fascinating plants and animals, wetlands are vital to our environmental well-being.
Wetlands are places of beauty and serenity, and also places to be enjoyed.
So in the spirit of the great outdoors, lace up your sneakers, hiking boots, or waders and explore some of our beautiful Southeastern wetlands. Each offers a range of recreational activities, from camping and hiking, to fishing, photography, and nature study. Written by Parke Puterbaugh.
