This is where they actually train and have opened this little piece to the public. Come and join me in some hiking . They have ample parking but can fill up. A lot of individuals bring their dogs, make sure and take care. After a rain storm, and snow storms this area is muddy. While we hiked the trails the mud was all over. But we live in Kentucky. Mud and snow; eventually will not stop us. Just prepare yourself ahead of time. The views of the waterfall are beautiful. On one of the trials it was washed out. But you can make your way around. Nature is the ultimate gift and enjoy it . Make sure and leave nature the way you found it.

This little hike was recommended to me after a snowstorm--which I definitely would not suggest…read more It's mostly uphill, and the wind turned everything into ice, making it really challenging to traverse. Outside of that particular experience (and once I was on the return down-hill), I realized this trail is short, simple, charming , and easy, with a few spots offering really pretty overlook views along the way. About halfway in, a babbling creek starts to follow you, hinting that you're nearing the final destination. Then you can hear the waterfalls before rounding a bend to reveal them. The falls are fantastic with multiple levels and a very peaceful melody. Just a heads-up: the trail begins with a walk down a service road since the original trail is now on private property, roped off as part of a very interesting-looking old house/building. At the end of the service road, there's a short but steep uphill path path to rejoin the trail. After that--smooth sailing.

Since this is located near our cabin, I'm sure we will be back at another time when the falls are full. Just not this time around. What is there to say? Well, they have a ton of walkways that were added, making it accessible for all types of people. This isn't ADA accessible, but it is an easy up and down for those who can't move strenuously. There are places to sit where you can go underneath the waterfall when applicable, and it offers a really pretty view from almost all vantage points. There just isn't any water right now as the time of writing this. Maybe next time...

There were several little picnic areas and seating areas within feet of the parking lot. This is definitely one of the most accessible scenic areas we've been to. There are stairs with handrails heading down into the gorge. You can walk across the falls on a wooden bridge and then head down more stairs to the bottom. At this point, you can either turn around and head up, or if you're more adventurous and want to head off on a less groomed path and over some rocks, you can do that! Unfortunately, the waterfall was not flowing when we were there. I had assumed it always was, so was a little disappointed at that. I have since read up on it a bit and it seems rainy season is the best time to go to see the falls in all their glory! However, since it was dry, we could climb over rocks and explore rather safely. We hiked for a while and then turned back, as we weren't sure how far it went and we needed to hit the road. We spent about 30-45 minutes walking around and taking it in. You can make this stop in as a little as 5-10 minutes if you wanted. Longer to explore! It was beautiful! If you're in the area and have time to stop, I recommend it!

A great little park and a good place to launch a kayak from without paying a launch fee…read more I haven't done any hiking or anything else here except for start an afternoon of kayaking. My friend made the suggestion when we were looking for spot to launch that wouldn't cost $15/boat. The convenience of this cost savings makes up for the downsides. The two downsides are the small, tight parking lot and the long trail from the parking lot to the place where you can put your kayak in to the water. That second problem could be mitigated by the use of a hand wagon...we just need to get one. Ha ha! I am eager to explore more of the park on foot, but I can certainly guarantee I will be back here for more kayaking adventures.

There used to be a waterfall you could check out, but it's not closed off since it's private property. You can park down in here in the small lot.

From the road, you see the big military tank and helicopter, and I admit that that's what I thought this park was all about.

This included a giant jungle gym set and a ropes apparatus that my kids called "the spider web," which was great to climb and crawl through. Lots of swings can be found in the back too. I appreciate how easy it was to keep an eye on the kids even though the play area is on the larger side. The entire park was clean and well maintained.

Beautiful and easy walking trail located in Brandenburg Kentucky. We decided to check this place…read moreout after stopping by in popular Brandenburg attraction jailhouse pizza. The gps with the current yelp address took us to some industrial area with construction called buttermilk falls commerce. It said we had another 1.5 miles to go but there was a sign that said trails with an arrow pointing left. Right past that is a security shack for the commercial buildings. The very nice gentleman there told us the gps is wrong that we can park in a gravel lot right behind us where the trails sign was. Or if we were out of Towners he recommended parking at riverfront park right by jailhouse pizza and grabbing some pizza and walking the calories off as the other entrance is located there. We literally had just left that area so we did some unnecessary driving. After popping a u turn and parking in the Gravel parking lot you enter a park entrance that is gravel and has a sign. Buttermilk falls is about 2.5 miles one way and on a straight line that ends at the river front park. We took the concrete road and about 1/4 a mile in you see a break off nature path called "Emmett falls trail" you could either go here or stay on the concrete path. We took the scenic wooded path. It was about .5 miles of real beautiful and pretty scenery until we reached the very large and wonderful Emmett falls. They have a lovely seating area right at the bottom and you can climb to the top of th waterfall as well. Emmett falls is the only "large" waterfall in buttermilk falls. At the tail End of the trail towards the riverfront parks you hit stretch of several beautiful small ones. But Emmett is the big boy! After that you you can trek back onto the path you was in before veering left to the waterfall and continue forward which will take you back to the concrete path you was originally on. Or you can cross over to the concrete path immediately and then head back to the gravel parking lot by hanging a right or continue left and move forward on the concrete path. Once back on the concrete path you will cross a few lovely bridges and scenic opportunities. You will encounter one port o pot about the halfway point. You continue along the concrete trials and as you get closer to the riverfront park entrance there are several very small and beautiful water falls everywhere on both sides of the concrete path. Very lovely and great photo ops. Once reaching the other small waterfalls we turned around and took the concrete path all the way back. So we kinda created are own loop. Very nice, simple and beautiful walking trails. As for where to park for out towners like myself it depends on want you want to see. If you want to see the huge Emmett falls first then I would park at the entrance of buttermilk falls commerce as it is closer to that entrance. If you want to see several tiny ones first then start at the river front park entrance. If your gonna see both then either is good. It would of been nice if we had known you could enter through river front park as we had literally just left that area after eating jailhouse pizza. But either way we still had a great time and enjoyed. I will give a warning at least for AT&T users. You will not have great reception here. Calls and texts are spotty and internet is a no go. So bring plenty of charge and do some pre planning if that's a necessity for you. Overall absolutely worth checking out. We spent a day in Brandenburg all in that same vicinity and the entire family and group of friends we went with had a wonderful and memorable time.
