Confirmed from Audubon Mill Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Historic riverfront park featuring fountains, shaded picnic areas and a playground for kids.
What runners say about Audubon Mill Park
“C Handy Blues Fest, all the personnel there kept it clean and tidy.”
“Great little park area to walk around and appreciate the scenery with a water fountain and lock fence overlooking the beautiful river and bridge.”
“Park has ample benches and picnic tables with lots of shade, as well as kid-friendly splash water fountains during the summer.”
“It's quiet, peaceful, relaxing with lots of friendly folks and things to see out here!”
A wonderful place to visit in Henderson, Kentucky that's full of history and scenic views. Located on the river in downtown Henderson you're only steps away from the river walk, shopping, and dining. Only about a block away you'll also find one of the best Bed and Breakfast stays in the state.
Excellent place to come see the river. Sunsets are s Often spectacular here. Nice walk along river with lots of benches and swings to relax on. Also, there are two fenced in dog parks. A beautiful place in downtown Henderson Ky.
Beautiful place, and one of the few Henderson has to offer when it comes to taking your kids to a park to play. Somewhere, you can have a nice place to go for a place, especially now that they have the walking trail/path in place. The kids also have a blast playing in the fountains in the summertime.
The Audubon Mill Park on the banks of the Ohio River is wonderful and I spent a few hours exploring the area, relaxing, and watching barges being pushed up the river. They have 70 feet marked off to track the river level during floods but the incline made it a few hundred foot walk up a pretty steep bank.
