Empire Point | FS Rd #135 #137
Birds of prey, cormorants, and deer combine with spectacular sunrises and scenic shoreline vistas. Hike the old road beds amongst the old farm buildings looking for grassland birds and fleeting glimpses of foxes, bobcats, and coyotes. Empire Point once served as the headquarters for the Kentucky Woodlands National Wildlife Refuge founded in the 1930s. Later it transformed to an agricultural education center in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Empire Point’s open grasslands have been maintained by cooperative farmers who still gather hay for livestock, keeping trees from overtaking its views.
