Kentucky Lucky Chicken

St. George has a new trail in town! Kentucky Lucky Chicken, or K.L.C. for brevity, and when I say in town, I mean in town.

It’s situated on the top third of Webb Hill. Webb Hill, for those not in the-know, is the anticline that juts up from the Virgin River in the Bloomington Hills area. You know, the one with the radio towers (more on those later).

To get there, take River Road to Fort Pierce Drive, then turn south on Bloomington Hills Drive, then surprisingly enough, back onto Fort Pierce Drive going west (it’s sort of a loop) and finally south onto Hillrise Drive. The road soon turns to dirt and can be pretty choppy, so those with low clearance vehicles may want to park here and ride up the last eighth mile or so to a wide spot in the road where the trail starts and ends. There is talk of getting an improved trailhead in the near future, but until then, some of us will just have to start the ride sooner than others! Since Kentucky Lucky Chicken is surrounded by the city, it’s what I call a “ride-to” trail and many people can access this one using the myriad of bike paths in our area. Pretty cool!
