miles of the industrial complex of Riverport an ap-
proximate 2,500 acre industrial park of manufactur-
ing and distribution companies. Between the two
industrial areas, over 10,000 people are employed.
The Loop provides employees both transporta-
tion and recreation options. Riverview Park
Trailhead near mile-marker 14.5 is the gateway to
the adjacent park Riverview, complete with a boat
ramp, playgrounds, and direct views of the river.
Midway between Riverside and Farnsley-Moreman
Landing is the popular destination for bicyclists and
families, Mike Linnig’s Restaurant. The final des-
tination directly on the Levee Trail is Riverview, the
Farnsley-Moreman Landing. This Louisville Metro
Park facility is a 300-acre historic site on a 19th
Century river farmstead that now provides Louis-
ville some of the most spectacular views, wedding
facilities, community garden, historic gardens, and
center of community events.

Destinations: The Levee Trail provides many opportunities for the
community to access parks, worksites, and contiguous miles of off-road
bicycle and pedestrian facilities. In addition to the industrial campuses
of Rubbertown, the Levee Trail section passes by approximately three

Challenges: Even though the Levee Trail
has been completed and connects to downtown,
segments of the trail’s on-road facility exposes
the pedestrian and cyclists to potentially danger-
ous conditions. The Campground Road section
currently exists as on-street bike lanes with no
sidewalks. Funding has been identified to sepa-
rate this from the often heavy truck traffic. Another challenge is
the need to connect into the neighborhoods. Currently, many
of the access points along roads lack safe facilities or direct
connection for safe routes to schools, neighborhoods, parks,
