Description
You can take the trail to the left, front, or right. I usually take it to the right. The thing that is great is that you can take multiple routes. You really need to just spend some time exploring the trails. After going a few times I had a good grasp on where to go. Some of the trails dead end into a road. You can either see it's connection accross the road or you get on the road travel a little way and you will see another trail head. After a ride through it, I am at 5 to 6 miles on my odometer. It is a network of trails. Not too hard, but still tech. enough to be fun. For how close it is, it is fun to use. Watch out for people as they often don't know what to do when they see you. There is also a large tree off the trail that is covered in spray paint, exspect to see pot heads in the area and the smell of marijuana in the air. Be careful there because they will not respond to your communication. You will say, "excuse me" and they will walk right at you like they don't think you are real. It is a trail system worth checking out though.

Review: The people at Olmstead Parks have really worked on these trails nicely. Something for everyone.

Review: KyMBA is who does most of the building/maintaining of the trails at Cherokee.
Review: Great trail and great park. You can ride these trails all day. The trails will give you a good work out but nothing crazy. Take a map because you can get lost in the surrounding neighborhood. Bardstown Rd. is near by and you can get your bike fixed there or grab a bite to eat.
Review: Great trail system for a ride after work. If you ride the whole trail through Cherokee and then into Seneca and back it is a good 60 min. workout. The trails have some good technical sections, a couple of good climbs and some fun flowy DH stuff. I highly recomend the system for Louisville area folks.
Review: The trails are pretty easy to ride on. It is great for more experienced riders to still have some fun while building cardio. There are some obstacles here and there but nothing too difficult. It is good quick trail to hit up when you want to ride, but don't have a lot of time. There are some inclines but nothing too long.
