Brigadoon State Nature Preserve, Protected natural area in Barren County, Kentucky, United States.
The 184-acre Brigadoon State Nature Preserve contains mature forests of beech, maple, and tulip poplar trees along the Barren River Reservoir.
The land belonged to the Renfro family from the late 1700s until 1960, with minimal timber harvesting limited to family usage.
The preserve maintains a critical role in Kentucky's conservation network, protecting numerous native plant species and providing habitat for migratory birds.
Visitors can explore the natural environment through a designated one-mile trail that winds through the diverse woodland landscapes.
The forest floor displays an array of spring wildflowers, including several plant species classified as rare within Kentucky's botanical catalog.
