Waters Recede, Ballard Wildlife Area Open Saturday

After being closed for over two weeks due to flood waters, the Ballard County Wildlife Management Area will reopen on Saturday.

In a Facebook post, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Management officials said they were working to clean up behind the receding water. 

The check station will open Saturday at 4:30 am and drawing will take place at 5 am. 

Those whose names were drawn for hunting dates during the temporary closure will get their preference points back as if they were not drawn at all.
