I loved my visit to Bernheim Forest! I can't believe how long it took for me to visit…read more I visited on a sunny, 75 degree, Saturday afternoon. There was a good amount of people but it didn't feel crowded. There first stop was a little gift shop with and information desk, snack bar, and bathrooms. From there the trail to the forest giants was super easy to follow. After walking to the giants, I drove the path to see the Tin Man and canopy walks. I love how accessible all the big attractions were and how beautiful the forests are. It's worth stopping in if you're visiting the area or a local!

Bernheim is one my husband's and my favorite places to get away from it all and enjoy being with…read morenature. After an unusually cold winter, we recently had a day warm enough day to return to Bernheim, and we chose a shorter trail due to time constraints. We hiked the Knob Top Trail and really enjoyed the peacefulness on the trail (we saw no other people on this trail today). The Knob Top is not one of the more popular trails, but we really enjoyed it. It is rated by Bernheim as "Difficult," but I would say it is moderate. It can be hiked as an in and out (this is what we chose to do) or as a connector between "Two Ponds Loop' and "Lake Nevin Loop." It is a short trail, only 0.5 mi in and 0.5 miles out. The terrain is packed dirt, and as expected, included tree roots, rocks, mounds, ruts, and other obstacles. The hike is a gradual incline to the top (Inspiration Knob) where there is a pretty, green, decommissioned water tank. This was a perfect, short hike to ease into hiking season! Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash. Photos added to my original review of Bernheim Forest.

Dean Watts Park - Clearing in the woods and also at a fork in the road.  We chose to do the right path, down a small hill.

Our group of friends made the drive from Louisville to stop at this park with a specific plan to…read morevisit the wind phone installation located on the Wilson Trail behind the ball fields. We are currently researching plans for our own wind phone and had wanted to see an example of one already in use. The paved trail winds around behind the ball fields and then becomes a mulched path into the woods. The path is fairly steep and passes by a clearing with a circle of log seating and then continues down a hill until it reveals a creek. Turning to the left, the trail continues and we soon find the box for the prior wind phone installation; however, it seems that vandalism took place because the rotary dial phone is missing. Nice trails and difficulty rating is mild to moderate walk, The hope is to return sometime again soon and that the wind phone installation will be restored for use. Very large paved parking lot. Porta-potty restroom facilities. Multiple well-maintained ball fields.

My daughters and I went to this park today while we were in Bardstown and we had a good time to…read morehave a plenty of good baseball fields and playgrounds and walking trails and paths and we all had a really good time we had a picnic in the back of the truck and one of the parking lot and it was nice environment good scenery definitely check it out
