About
Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest is a 16,137 acres arboretum, forest, and nature preserve located in Clermont, Kentucky. Bernheim was founded in 1929 by Isaac Wolfe Bernheim, a German immigrant and successful brewer whose whiskey distillery business established the I.W. Harper brand. He purchased the land in 1928 at $1 an acre because most of it had been stripped for mining iron ore. The Frederick Law Olmsted landscape architecture firm started work on designing the park in 1931 and it opened in 1950.

MoreWe like close to Bernheim and visit it often. We have favorite trails that we hike and there are plenty other depending on how long you want to be out. The lake loop is enjoyable and not terribly long
