Celebrate Trails Day — an annual distinction given to the fourth Saturday in April to honor America’s trail systems — at one of Louisville’s hiking trails.

Anchorage Trail, Downtown Anchorage, 1500 Evergreen Rd.
    This 10-foot wide, paved path begins with a herringbone brick walk before it winds through open fields and along Willow Lake + ends under a light tree canopy. Pro tip: Visit in the fall to see giant pumpkins flanking the walkway.

    Blackacre State Nature Preserve, 3200 Tucker Station Rd.
      Walk through history on this combined loop to see a waterfall, cattail pond, historic springhouse, and double-crib barn on this 19th-century farm.

      Turkey Run Loop Trail, The Parklands of Floyds Fork, Beckley Creek Pkwy.
        Hike some or all of this park’s multiple loop trails, starting at the Brown-Forman Silo Center. Just be on the lookout for mountain bikers sharing the path.

        Pro tip: Check park websites before visiting for current trail conditions.
