Otter Creek Park


Otter Creek Park is one of the treasures of the Louisville Metro Parks system. Otter Creek's 2,600 acres offer an abundance of outdoor experiences, including hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, disc golf, camping, cabin rentals, venues for corporate and social events, adventure programs, a Nature Center, an astronomical observatory and more!

The park is located approximately 25 miles southwest of downtown Louisville along the Ohio River in Meade County, Kentucky. It is accessible from Dixie Highway, just 14 miles south of the Gene Snyder Freeway.
