On 9/16/25 I was chased twice by a dog at first or second house west of Swamp Branch TH. Fortunately I was able to pedal faster than dog could run. Dangerous for children.
I rode the trail out and back from Jenny’s Creek trail head to the dead end at Tip Top Tunnel. Pavement is perfect! Mostly tree canopy! Lots of small road crossing but very little traffic. The huge metal single file guard rails were strange and completely annoying. Strange that there so many - at bridges, road crossings, and even in flat straight sections. Annoying because they were only slightly wider than a road bike bars and you had to slow down and ease through. The facilities were completely toxic - awful. Not cleaned in years. Only 1 water fountain. Please do better.
We started the trail at the horse park, and rode south from there. The scenery was gorgeous, although there is not a lot of shade. Luckily, there was a break in the weather when we were there from the oppressive heat we’ve been having.
Trail was worth the drive. Asphalt paved path with a gentle grade and nice stop in David for a lunch break. Saw several deer and other critters along the trail.
I live in Kentucky and was excited to try this trail. I’ve ridden 33,000 miles on 278 trails and I can easily say I’ll never go back I had two large Dobermans chase me, nipping at my heels and jumping up on to my legs. They caused me to lose my balance and crash on my ebike. I wound up needing two shoulder replacements. I’ll never go back
My husband and I rode the trail this morning. We are staying at the RV Park/Kentucky Horse Park so getting on the trail was very easy from our site. No loading up the bike and trike on the truck and driving to a starting point. The trail is nice with well maintained asphalt. The grass along the trail edges had been freshly mowed. You have to cross some streets but it wasn't a problem. Only complaint was it could have used more shade trees. Definitely a worth while ride.
Couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day and temperature. The trail was really nice. We parked at the spot near the horse park and road toward the end point near the horse park. The horses were still grazing in the morning prior to the opening of the park. We road to Newtown Pike and had lunch at the Jimmy John’s. We decided not to continue into town along the trail. Instead we headed back to the end point near the horse park again. All together we rode 19.8 miles and were blessed with a nice breeze. So glad we made the drive from Louisville. A nice change and beautiful landscapes.
Paved, Gravel, Rocks, Sharp corners, lots of trees down, we had e-bikes which where trek bikes, I wouldn’t recommend trikes to not enough room for them to get over in the woods. We couldn’t get around a big fallen tree on the first part of the trail so we back tracked and went back to the truck and went to the end and started. We did get in 25 miles total.
I absolutely loved this trail. But the Southern trailhead actually starts north of the where trail link has it on the map — it’s on US 62 by the covered bridge. Hopefully this will get corrected soon. Otherwise a really fabulous trail.
Really enjoyed. I learned that the local public library will check out bikes for a dollar to its patrons. I just love that.
We rode the Riverwalk section and the Big Four Bridge. The bridge was great, the Riverwalk was not. It is true they had major flooding about 3 weeks ago and, understandably, this was not yet fully remediated. But even in unaffected areas the majority of the trail goes through dilapidated inner city and industrial sections with only minimal and unmaintained landscaping, hardscaping, or other park amenities. If you want a much better southern Riverwalk trail experience, go to Chattanooga TN or Columbus GA.
