Louisville Mountain Bike Trail Conditions

Louisville's riding grew out of the Parklands of Floyds Fork east of the city, with Waverly Park's older network south of town and Cherokee closer in. It is Ohio Valley clay and limestone under hardwood, rolling rather than steep, and it holds water — the parks post closures and the local club backs them. Fast and flowing when the ground firms up.
