The Heritage Trail of Madison is a multi-use trail system that connects the downtown of Madison, Indiana, with the hilltop section of Madison. A short 3/4 mile long section is now open for public use. With a grade from 6% to 10% the trail is challenging for most users. However, when the remaining sections of trail are open within the next three years the Heritage Trail of Madison will provide a major corridor for all trail users.

From Greenways for Oldham County, Inc. website:
The county is currently seeking a $350,000 grant from the Kentucky Department of Transportation for Transportation Enhancement funding to support a critical 3.2 mile stretch of trail along Commerce Parkway in the LaGrange and Buckner areas.
The planned path would provide a safe place for pedestrians and bicyclists without the use of highways and present an exercise option to residents. Moreover, it provides multiple options for future connectivity to planned developments to include Eden Park, and a planned new elementary school and subdivision on Allen Lane.
