The Gnomes of Audubon Forest make every trip to Audubon State Park feel like an adventure. Each gnome has a lesson to share: Penny Patchwork reminds explorers to keep the trails clean, and River Reed teaches us to be quiet and respectful in nature. This scavenger hunt is both magical and educational, the perfect way to grab the kids and head outside to explore.

Audubon State Park is full of winding trails, a castle in the woods, and even a few hidden gnome friends waiting to be found. It`s the most magical place in Kentucky!
