FRANKFORT, KY - More than 800 acres in eastern Pulaski County is now open for public hunting. The Ping-Sinking Valley Wildlife Management Area (WMA) features a unique network of underground streams within the Buck Creek watershed.

The WMA includes forested ridges and valleys. Approximately 54 acres of the property consists of openings scattered throughout the tract. The terrain is steep, with a 400-foot elevation gain between the valleys and ridges.

Ping-Sinking Valley WMA has moderate to good populations of deer, turkey, squirrels, furbearers and songbirds. The area is open for archery, crossbow and youth deer seasons. It is open under statewide regulations for all other hunting seasons.


Travel through the area is by walking only. ATVs and horseback riding are not allowed. The area is not open for camping.

This long, narrow WMA is located east of Somerset and has three parking areas. The western lot is located off KY 1677 (Public Road). The middle lot is located off Bullock Cemetery Road. The easternmost lot is located off Upper Line Creek Road.

A map and directions to parking areas may be found online at the website of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources at fw.ky.gov.

The property was purchased through the Kentucky Wetland and Stream Mitigation Fund to help protect the underground streams in the area.
