Louisville Loop bike path, Farnsley-Moreman to Lees Ln.
These were two separate rides on the Louisville Loop bike path in SW Louisville, KY, totaling approximately 15 miles round trip. Timeline: 0:00-4:00 is from the LG&E generating station on Cane Run Rd. to Lees Lane. This section of the path is the most scenic, in my opinion, but it's not flat or an easy ride for the physically challenged. Expect some effort and a few hills as the path splits into two sections crossing Mill Creek bridge and traveling through a woods to the river overlook. The off road path currently ends at Lees Ln./Riverside Gardens. A sidewalk picks up at the Cane Run/Lees Ln intersection, but unlike some cities, riding on the sidewalk in Louisville is illegal. Since the off road section runs near Rubbertown's chemical plants and directly through the EPA toxic waste Superfund site, expect an occasional warning alarm. It was sounding the day I was here, but everybody was ignoring it. Keep this in mind if you might need to escape in a hurry. Many flora and fauna can be seen here, as well as an interesting junk yard. Timeline: 4:00-6:44 is from Farnsley-Morman Landing Park a few miles South to the Greenwood Boat Ramp at Riverview Park. This section is about 9 miles roundtrip, flat and entirely atop the floodwall, with the exception of a small break in the floodwall at the garbage truck depot, making it an easy ride, but without much shade. It has a direct access path to Mike Linnig's Restaurant and a couple of off path walking trails to the Ohio River. It is also the site of a future planned memorial park as an Indian burial ground was found near where the old Bethany Church was placed. My suggestion, take a buddy for personal safety. Although it is claimed security guards sometimes patrol the floodwall in this area, I have never seen them. Restrooms are limited in this area, but seasonal facilities are available at Riverview Park near the Greenwood boat ramp.
Although it is not shown here, a new section of path atop the floodwall opened recently that runs South from Farnsley-Moreman to the LG&E generating station at Valley Village. There is a nice parking lot and trail head located on Lower River Rd. with informational signs about the history and geography of the area. It also passes a pay fishing lake. This section of path is flat like the Greenwood section, which should make it an easy but sunny ride. The Greenwood to LG&E section is also not shown, trail head at Riverview Park, it rides North at surface level alongside Cane Run Rd and passes through the Riverport and by the cemetery.
The Louisville Loop is a planned 100 mile circular off road bike path which is in ongoing construction as funds are available. It is planned to encircle the entire county, but currently does not offer many sections that would enable access to city services and businesses, to use as an alternate transportation route for anything but recreation. It might be possible for local residents and employees of the Riverport Industrial Park to reach their jobs from the SW sections of the path, but they would have to cross an unsafe Cane Run Rd. which has no sidewalks or shoulders to get to them.
Louisville, Kentucky - Falls of Ohio River
Taken at Falls of the Ohio...across from Louisville. A warm February day created rarely-seen (for Louisville) fog across the Ohio River...it was beautiful.
