Welcome to the Salato Wildlife Education Center! From the lush, eastern mountains to rolling prairies... from lowland marshes to clear running streams... you'll experience Kentucky's diverse regional ecosystems and the wealth of fish, plants, and animals that make this their home.

The Pea Ridge Trail will be CLOSED November 14 through 18 for opening weekend of modern gun hunting season. Although the Pea Ridge property is not hunted, adjacent private lands are. This closure is for the safety of our guests and comfort of our neighbors. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Whether you have an hour or the whole day at the KDFWR Headquarters and the Salato Wildlife Education Center, you'll have fun and learn something, too. Plus, you may choose to participate in a variety of scheduled programs, activities, and workshops. So pack a lunch, gather your fishing gear - don't forget the kids and camera - and come visit!
