Review:
This 700-acre nature sanctuary is an expansive green space just outside of downtown Lexington. With a mission to preserve the unique beauty of the Kentucky River Palisades region, the sanctuary manages to illustrate the historical significance of the land while providing open, outdoor space to the people of Lexington. Today, guests can visit Raven Run and utilize the space’s 10 miles of hiking trails and walking paths to cross through meadows and woodlands and pass numerous streams.
The trails take visitors through the scenic and rustic Bluegrass wilderness and deep into Kentucky’s scenic landscape. Additionally, the remnants of 19th century settlers remain scattered throughout the sanctuary, and over 600 species of flora and fauna are known to exist on the grounds.
