Waterfront Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Waterfront Park is a public riverside park that features a load of benches, picnic areas, open areas, and walking/biking paths. This is a great place to run at sunrise since there usually aren't a ton of people out yet, and the water keeps the area cool. Everything here is paved, so road running shoes are all you need.

Big Four Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Big Four Bridge, originally completed in 1895 as a railroad bridge, now connects Louisville, Kentucky, and Jeffersonville, Indiana, for pedestrians and cyclists. After closing for rail use in the sixties, the bridge reopened in 2013 with ramps for walkers and bikers. Spanning 2,525 feet, the bridge offers a two-mile roundtrip, including the ramps. It attracts an average of 1.5 million visitors annually, making it a key recreational link between the two cities. There are bike rental places close by to the bridge too.
