SALT SPRING TRACE
One of the first marked trails in
Kentucky. The path began at Fort
Boonesborough, crossed the
Kentucky River here at Blackfish
Ford, followed a buffalo trace up
Lower Howard’s Creek about four
miles then turned north and
continued on to the Lower Blue
Licks, where the first settlers
made salt and hunted buffalo.
