Brushy Hills Preserve
Single-track and logging road trails, 3 miles from Lexington
Brushy Hills Preserve offers a variety of running trails, mostly single track with some old logging roads. More than 14 miles of trails are packed into this 560-acre preserve owned by the City of Lexington. The trails are well-maintained and marked, but a map is essential since the trails cross each other many times. Maps are usually available at the kiosk. Brushy Hills Trails map.
Brushy Hills is home to the annual Nasty 9 Trail Run, which offers challenging 9-mile and 4-mile runs in September. Nasty 9 map.
The preserve is just a couple of miles outside of Lexington, and the spring that used to supply the city’s water is still in good shape. There is good parking right on Union Road and a kiosk to get you oriented. Additional parking is available a bit further north on Union Road and near the trail access from Enfield Road.
