FEATURED SPRINGS
Of the Wolf Run Watershed

There are over 43 springs registered in the Kentucky Geological Survey database for the Wolf Run Watershed in Western Lexington, KY.

Many of these springs are on farms and private property, but a number are in parks, greenways and visible from highway rights of way.

All have interesting stories about their history, use and environmental significance.

Please check the map linkto the right or the list below for information on our registered springs, if there is a spring you are aware of not on this list, you can have it added to the statewide registry.

If you notice, many of the springs listed are "unnamed" We would like to name the, particularly the ones that flow all year round (Perennial Springs)

If you are the property owner of one of these springs, or know of a historic name for one of the unnamed springs, please let is know.

If you have a suggestion on a good, positive, catchy name for a spring, please suggest that too. (But please avoid off-color names, like Buddies Burble or Silly Seep :-)

Contact us with your ideas!

Notes about Springs on Private Property:
A significant number of springs in our watershed are on private property. These are not open to the public, and we should respect spring owner privacy and security. Anyone wanting to visit a spring for scientific, educational or historic interest should contact the property owner in advance of a visit, and only visit if they have express permission to do so.

We hope to involve private spring owners with this project in several ways:
