Map of Trails

City gears up to link trails
Last two sections to be designed soon

The final two major sections of the "Louisville Loop" -- a system of walking, jogging and bike paths and trails ringing Jefferson County -- soon will be mapped out, in hopes of completion within the next five to 10 years, according to city leaders.

Parts of the 105-mile loop, which Mayor Jerry Abramson says "will connect all parts of our city, from Prospect to Valley Station, the waterfront to the waterfalls of Floyds Fork," already are in place and being used, or under construction.

The Northeast Trail Corridor, which will run from the area of U.S. 42 in Prospect to Miles Park, which is near Shelbyville Road and the north end of the Floyds Ford Greenway.

The Southwest Trail Corridor, which will stretch from the bottom of the Floyds Fork Greenway through the Jefferson Memorial Forest, before arriving at Riverside, the Farnsley-Moremen Landing.

Some parts of the loop, including the 7-mile RiverWalk from the downtown riverfront to Chickasaw Park and the 14-mile Levee Trail along the southwest floodwall, are completed and in use.

RiverWalk and Levee Trail

The Louisville Loop was adopted as a top priority by a bicycle task force Abramson created two years ago.

But its physical beginnings date to the 1990s when the city developed the RiverWalk in western Louisville.

Another section of the loop, the recently completed Levee Trail, links the RiverWalk with the Farnsley-Moremen Landing. ]]> General http://louisvillehiking.org/nucblog/index.php?itemid=6 Mon, 17 Dec 2007 07:06:17 -0700 http://louisvillehiking.org/nucblog/index.php?itemid=5 General http://louisvillehiking.org/nucblog/index.php?itemid=5 Tue, 19 Jun 2007 16:14:14 -0600 http://louisvillehiking.org/nucblog/index.php?itemid=4 General http://louisvillehiking.org/nucblog/index.php?itemid=4 Tue, 19 Jun 2007 16:12:20 -0600 http://louisvillehiking.org/nucblog/index.php?itemid=3 General http://louisvillehiking.org/nucblog/index.php?itemid=3 Tue, 19 Jun 2007 16:11:02 -0600 http://louisvillehiking.org/nucblog/index.php?itemid=2
Well, this is the first post of our brand new blog. You can comment on this post or if you want to post a comment that is not a response to this one, just create an id and post about your experiences on the hikes. Like for instance the day we kept 2 sheriffs, a state trooper and a ranger busy. Have you ever gotten lost? Or think you have?
