Quiet Trails State Nature Preserve consists of 177 acres of ridges and ravines bordering the Licking River in Harrison County, generously donated to the Commonwealth by Mr. and Mrs. W.G. Wigglesworth Jr. For years the family property was set aside as a private nature sanctuary utilized by local Scout troops, schools and private organizations for nature study and as a place for quiet reflection. It was given freely to KNP and dedicated on March 4, 1992. The diversity of birds, trees and wildflowers represent the richness of the Bluegrass fauna and flora. KNP manages this area primarily for environmental education and passive recreation. The preserve is also a Watchable Wildlife Site.
