A  new trail entrance has been completed thanks to the great work of Larry and Matt with Metro Parks along with some assistance from KyMBA Louisville volunteers .  This new entrance can be found at the lower parking area of Waverly near the lake damn spillway.   This entrance replaces the current fall line trail near the damn.

Two fantastic non profits working together with Metro Parks can create something great!  We cannot thank Major Waltman and his great crew enough for their sincere dedication to improving our Parks.  The recently completed Cochran Hill project is featured in this month’s Vistas newsletter and on the Olmsted website:  Olmsted Featured Project

The new No Net trail will be sustainable, fun, and includes both intermediate and challenging expert lines.  Here’s the latest report from last Saturday’s trail day conducted by Steve Freeman.

What a DAY! Infinite thanks go out to all the hardworking KyMBA volunteers who stepped-up and made for another very productive trail work session. Big thanks to Olmsted Conservancy and Metro Park, without their continued help and support none of this would be possible!

We had anther great turnout the last trail work day got another few miles of trails open. We’re getting close to having most of the original trail system open. We’ve even added some re-routes to increase flow and reduce drainage and safety problems. We even flagged about 3 1/2 …
