Hobo Trails
4 reviews
 3.25 of 5

Packed dirt trails that carve through the wooded banks of the Ohio River. Views of Kentucky from some of the trails. Trails split into two/three directions at the main clearing, where there is several jumps/ramps you can ride. Good place to practice your jumping abilities; some are easy, others are built for motorcycles and more challenging. Also there are logs off to the side of the trails for more technical stuff. Trails snake around a small, hidden lake and the banks of Silver Creek, which drains into the muddy Ohio. You can ride underneath an abandoned bridge. Nothing too hard but the trails offer a fast ride. Watch out for dudes walking on the trails; the trails aren't named after the hobos for nothing. These trails aren't too scenic but they offer some offroading within the Louisville Metro area. More challenging trails are at Louisville's Waverly Park in Valley Station and Cherokee Park in the Highlands -- both which are about a 10-15 minute drive from here.

Trail Directions
A short drive from Louisville (about 10 minutes) From Louisville: Take I-64 or I-65 North into New Albany. From I-65: go across the John F. Kennedy Bridge and take the New Albany/Hwy 62 ramp. Continue for about three miles until you enter the city of New Albany. You'll be on Spring Street. Continue west on Spring until the second light, which will be Vincennes Street. Take a left at Vincennes and continue for 1/4 mile until you see Riverside Drive on your left. (They'll be next to the railroad tracks.) Go on Riverside Drive until the next stop. Turn right, which is E. 18th Street and continue south until you see the flood wall gates. You'll see a large empty field with a guard rail in front. There's a sign that states, "No Trespassing." Don't worry; nobody gets busted. Hop over the guard rail and make a left and ride until you see a small trail through the tall grass. This is the entrance. From I-64: Take the first exit off the Sherman Minton Bridge. Make a right at the first light. Go south (through Spring Street) until you hit Main Street. Take a left and continue East on Main for about 1-2 miles. You'll eventually run into Vincennes Street and Riverside Drive, which is across the tracks. See I-65 directions.

Reviewed by: dave , from louisville

Summary:
It ain't waverly, it ain't cherokee but it's a fun slice of riding that's close to all. Get your old school bmx on here with some tight-lipped ramps. Fun to scare the dudes that are trying to catch some nasty bluegill in Silver Creek. Carry a cell phone as you are isolated from any busy road...
