We have not been able to confirm the surface, distance or shape of Audubon Park Trailheads yet from its own listing, the park's website or runner reviews — so those cells stay blank rather than guess. What is below comes straight from the listing and from reviewers' own words. 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.
Hilly hiking area featuring trails along with a lake and a visitors center.
What runners say about Audubon Park Trailheads
“Beautiful trails to hike, though it’s close to a busy area the trees mask the noise and it’s like your out in the middle on nowhere.”
“Path is well tread and easy to follow.”
“Enjoyed the quiet trails and the diversity of trees.”
Several trails with amazing views and wildlife! The museum is also amazing! Lots of history! The campgrounds just recently reopened. There is a gorgeous lake that the wilderness lake trail leads to.
We struggled a bit to find the trail we wanted. But it was quiet and peaceful and well kept up.
Great location. Nice little trails. Beautiful for a short hike or a quick run on the trails.
This park is an overlooked gem in Henderson, KY that thousands of people drive by daily without a 2nd thought. It offers several miles of trails that range from very easy to moderate in difficulty. The exceptionally wide range of trees is unusual for a park like this.
