Free Walking Tour – Iroquois Park | The Gift and Curse Of Beauty

Featuring an extended walk on a natural trail up to the recently renovated North Overlook, this tour offers an opportunity to enter into a landscape that has inspired artists. Hear about the origins of the golf course, see for yourself the most significant overlook in Louisville, and learn what it takes to restore, enhance and forever protect such magnificence in our midst.

This is a 90-minute easy walk on paved path over 1.5 miles.

Dress for warm weather, wear comfortable walking shoes, bring a water bottle and meet 5-10 minutes prior to tour start. Feel free to bring a walking stick. Leashed dogs and children accompanied by an adult are welcome. Please note there are no bathroom facilities available on this tour.
