Our local Trail Towns, Munfordville and Cave City/Horse Cave also offer accessible trails within their city limits.

The Green River Park & Arboretum in Munfordville offers a .75 mile trail on the perimeter of the park and an additional cut through path that can give you several combinations of length depending on which way you go. This path is completely accessible and includes placards along the way with various river and area information.
