It's a mere two minutes that Louiseville, home of the Kentucky Derby, is best known for, but venture beyond the track and find this flourishing riverside city also plays host to a good range of cultural attractions and a number of natural retreats.
This loop trail circles the lower drainage of Dutch Branch. The trail passes under several cliffs and rockshelters. During the spring there is a waterfall where Dutch Branch drops over the cliffline. This is a very good trail for observing spring wildflowers. A short spur trail connects Dutch Branch Trail with the Scuttle Hole Trail. It is short but fairly steep.
