McConnell Springs Park is a ?? acre preserve in Lexington, Kentucky that provides a highly accessible interaction with nature in an urban setting. Although the footprint of the park is small, visitors perceive it as much larger due to the skillful layout of trails and viewpoints.

The karst topography of the area provides underground streams, sinks and boils on a flat, dry trail.

More information to be added later.


McConnell Springs can be accessed easily from Exit 6 (Old Frankfort Pike) of New Circle Road. Signage by the City of Lexington provides clear direction to the park. Plenty of parking is available for visitors.

The park is open to hikers from dawn until dusk, however, the visitor center is open from 9 am - 5 pm on Monday through Saturday and from 1 - 5 pm on Sunday.
