Cherokee Park

"A beautiful place for walking, running, and biking. Very scenic. I spotted some deer"

"Great park with a lot of trails. I love going on a walk here whenever the weather is good !!!!!"

"Wonderful park. I'm sure many already know, but it was designed Frederick Law Olmstead, same landscape architect who designed NYC's Central Park. Anyhow, it's nicely kept quite wild. In the warmer seasons, it's a great place to encounter diverse insects, along the patches of native plants that you find everywhere. Public restrooms are good, too. Drive slow, if you're going through. Keep in mind it's more people-centered, or at least it ought to be."

"Cherokee Park is a gem: this review focuses on the lake. As you can see from my pictures -- crappie, bass, catfish, warmouth, and trout (seasonal) can be caught here. That said, it is not the easiest place to catch fish. Pressure is high: it's in the middle of Louisville and is the closest lake for many, many anglers. Even so, don't hesitate to come drop a line in or watch the golfers or simply walk the paved trail. Nice place to walk before or after visiting the restaurant (Le Moo) or Coffee Shop across the street."

"Such a peaceful place to go have a picnic, walk the paved road, bike the paved road or take the bike or your own two feet and your dogs 4 feet for a walk on the trails. With over 400 acres nestled in the city of Louisville. Places with play areas for kids, water fountains , creeks you can probably play in, if you like a little splash in the water. Get out see some deer and other wildlife while letting all your stress go with some peaceful nature and relax a little."
