Floyds Fork

Floyds Fork[1] is a 62-mile-long (100 km)[2] tributary of the Salt River in Kentucky, directly south and east of Louisville.

During the Civil War, Confederate and Union forces skirmished on Floyds Fork and what is now US 60 (Shelbyville Road, locally) on October 1, 1862.

In recent years, the area surrounding Floyds Fork has been subject to new property development.

In order to protect the tributary from developers, the Future Fund has purchased 115 acres of land, which were otherwise going to become a subdivision.

The aim of this organisation is to preserve the creek by making sure it is only being used for recreation, reducing private development to a minimum.
