Perryville Battlefield is truly a Kentucky treasure. You can experience Kentucky at its best. Walk with history while experiencing Kentucky’s natural beauty.
Native Habitat
Recently Perryville Battlefield entered into a partnership with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife in an effort to return areas within the park to its native appearance. Utilizing grant funding from The Friends of Perryville Battlefield as well as the Kentucky Land Heritage Conservation Fund we are currently turning nearly 100 acres back in time to re-introduce native habitat.
Fishing
Although no hunting is allowed on the park there are public fishing ponds that were recently stocked by a grant from our friends organization. All that is required to fish these ponds is the appropriate Kentucky Fishing Licenses, which can be obtained at several retail outlets or the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife website http://fw.ky.gov/
