Go with the flow!
The Fairmount Falls trail is a very short woodland hike, but it offers a one-of-kind view within a Louisville Metro Park. Hikers will find a 70-foot woodland waterfall that, with care, they can walk across at the top. When the water is flowing, great views can be seen from the trail that approaches from the parking area. Hikers who want a longer trek can hike a short in-and-out trail that extends past the waterfall.Â
