Kentucky Wild Rivers (Corridors)

Portions of nine rivers of exceptional quality and aesthetic character were designated as Kentucky Wild Rivers in 1972. Each Wild River is actually a linear corridor encompassing all visible land on each side of the river up to a distance of no more than 2,000 feet. The nine Wild River corridors comprise a total of 114 river miles and 26,961 acres of land. Each section of river is protected in a free flowing state and provides areas for the perpetuation of Kentucky’s wild fauna and flora as well as recreational opportunity. Regardless of ownership, which varies across each section, the Wild River Act sets forth certain restrictions of allowable activities to protect and preserve these areas for future generations. https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/statutes/chapter.aspx?id=37693<div><br /></div><div>Onlink Url: <a href='https://ky.box.com/v/kymartian-wild-rivers' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>https://ky.box.com/v/kymartian-wild-rivers</a></div>
