Welcome to Split Rock Conservation Park online. Split Rock is named for the unique glacial formations deposited in the area thousands of years ago. This awesome feature and the beauty and diversity of the surrounding area has been a destination for exploration and wonder for generations. The land is a mosaic of woodlands and meadows surrounded by Woolper Creek and the Ohio River (with an abundant wildlife resource). Archaeological evidence of past cultures gives testament to the rich bounty of this area that has supported human communities and endures today.
We use the many unique natural features to teach the importance of understanding, conserving and in some cases restoring the local biodiversity. Native grasslands, woodlands, and wetlands will be the focus of innovative educational activities and enhance a learning atmosphere reflective of Kentucky's rich natural and cultural heritage. |
