She made us feel right at home and had so many fun stories to share. “Winston Churchill sat here” and so did I! Would love to bring others back for this hom...

Coppiced Woods Trail
Hiking area
👍 Great trail. Quiet and serene. Challenging in some parts. Wish it were a bit longer though (it's ~1.25 miles). If you start from the parking lot it connects to the Louisville Loop (paved walkway) which you could use to add forested, yet trail-free distance to your hike/run.

👍👍 I had no idea this little park was back here. On just a small square acre is a great playground area, swings, benches, a nice gazebo, and plenty of nooks and crannies with picnic tables, swinging benches, and places to relax. I wrote an article and made a full video tour which you can view here:
