The Anchorage Trail

Anchorage Trail is located in downtown Anchorage in the East End of Louisville in Middletown.  Its a beautiful paved trail which I believe is a total of 2.2 miles.  I also think there is some wooded paths along the way, we've gone down one, it was a short 1/4mi cut through.  Theres a little sign post with the wildlife people have seen near the front as well as one near the pond about wetlands.  

This is a great place to go if you have little ones learning to ride their bikes (its a little long but the boys do well) and also is perfect for strollers.  Highlights include the bridges, a pond, a wetland, stream exploration, big rocks to climb on and wooden swings.  


We love all the "rustic" swings around the trail- they'd be great for some professional pictures too!

The best part of the trail is a marshy wetland area about 1/2 in, there is a deck with information on the wildlife and stairs down to the pond where the kids can go exploring.  Also there are hundreds of what look like iris bulbs popping up, we'll have to go back again soon and see if they've blossomed. 

There are different kinds of areas to the trail, a pond, forest and meadows.  This was one I tried to snap of 5 deer.







Being brave with daddy on a "dam" (which seems more like a bunch of sticks against a fallen tree, but Issac assured me beavers made this.

Perfect Day
