Hazel Patch

Shown here is the Wood's Blockhouse marker sitting on a knoll located along Hazel Patch Creek on Boone Trace in Laurel County. John Floyd and Benjamin Logan followed Hazel Patch Creek which bends to the west (left in the photo) around the hill along Skagg's Trace toward Crab Orchard, and established Logan's Station (St. Asaph). Eventually the route would reach Harrodsburg and Louisville (at the Falls of the Ohio River). That path evolved into what became known as the Wilderness Road.
