Ohio River Greenway

Great ride!

July, 2025 by edjanetravel

Indiana has done a beautiful job with this trail. Could use real restrooms on New Albany end but the port a pots were fairly clean.

Legacy Trail (KY)

Beautiful ride!

June, 2025 by edjanetravel

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.

Monon South Trail

Good start to the Monon South

May, 2025 by gwczpykkxp

As of May 2025 you can ride about 10 miles uninterrupted from Deam Lake to Pekin. The trail is paved through 5 towns (Borden, Pekin, Salem, Orleans, Mitchell). Restroom facilities are being built in a couple of those towns. It’s crushed lime except in the towns. Very enjoyable trail.

Louisville Loop

Riverwalk section is awful

April, 2025 by tod.hanson

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.

Big Four Bridge

Salvaged the Louisville Loop experience

April, 2025 by tod.hanson

We crossed the Big Four Bridge while riding the River Walk portion of the Louisville Loop trail. The bridge was way better than the trail.

Legacy Trail (KY)

Needs signage, facilities, parking

April, 2025 by runer4jc

I started at the trail “ending” downtown - but there was no parking, no trailhead, no facilities, and no sign to identify the trail. Strange. I parked at the Catholic Church down the street. I was told I could park at the YMCA, but how do out of town people know this. Then, it was difficult to follow the trail at crossings - very few signs or road markings. The trail is nice, good surface, and beautiful scenery toward the north end. But then it ends at a farm gate - no parking, no facilities, no trailhead, and no signs. Strange. Lexington needs to develop it more! a nice trail.

Louisville Loop

Louisville Loop Trail (Parklands of Floyd Fork portion)

October, 2024 by curry.kevin27

Beautiful trail, may be the best my wife and I have ridden and we’ve ridden many in several Midwestern states. Well maintained, plenty of clean restrooms along the way. Many interesting points of interest and the scenery was stunning on a cloudless October morning.

Ohio River Greenway

Ohio River Greenway Okay

October, 2024 by neschultz3

Stopped and checked out passing through town for the first time. Exited off I-64 and parked near YMCA. I will go 10th and Floyd if I am inclined to ride it again. Kinda short for me, but beefed it out a little by crossing the Big Four Bridge. Nothing very remarkable but it was a nice day.

Legacy Trail (KY)

great trail

October, 2024 by sewso1962

Husband and I are new EBike riders. We haven’t ridden bikes in 30+ years. We loved this trail. We try to be respectful when approaching other bikers and runners. We parked at Coldstream and rode north to horse park. Rode into the campground and stopped for ice cream in camp store. I have read comments about road noise from I-75, but honestly the trail and scenery are still beautiful. We rode about 15 miles after meandering a bit off trail at Horse park. We rode on Saturday and there were a lot of people on the path but everyone shared i

Legacy Trail (KY)

Great Experience.

October, 2024 by michaelshaffer_tl

My son and I hiked the trail for one of his Scout merit badges. A well maintained trail. Most cyclists were courteous about saying “passing on left”. There is water and picnic tables and restrooms at mile marker 5.6. There are also port-a-pots in a few other areas along the way. Our route took us from the Horse Park to the end of the trail and back. We did take a couple of the shorter trails off the main trail. Overall a great experience.

Ohio River Greenway

amazing tail

September, 2024 by judy.vernon

Since the completion of this trail. You can ride from the Big Four Bridge to the Amphitheater in New Albany with only a couple of street crossings. 7 miles one way. You can take the 6th Street ramp up into New Albany to find many restaurants and the Saturday Farmers Market. Very enjoyable ride.

Louisville Loop

Ride along the River

September, 2024 by rsgogliotti

We had rode the trail from the River Park Marina to Swanee . The trail was in need of some repairs but the views of the river and downtown was very appealing. However, after the McAlpine lock and dam, the trail became questionable. We encountered numerous camps, piles of trash, motor bikes / ATVs on the trail and very questionable surroundings, we turned around. I would suggest on to avoid this path pf the trail close to Swanee park
