Confirmed from Horse Fork Creek 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.
Outdoor activity area with grass fields for soccer leagues, plus a small lake & a playground.
What runners say about Horse Fork Creek Park
“The soccer fields are well maintained and the play park is good for the other kids who aren't playing in the soccer game!”
Beautiful area, nice and safe. This trail is a hidden gem in the middle of owensboro bike trail.
The park has a lake, a walking trail around the lake, a wooded area with a raised trail, a play area, and a several soccer fields. A concession stand is also on site for soccer games. The park is well equipped and plenty clean.
This was a great place to park to pick up the Owensboro bicycle trail. They have concessions, plenty of sports fields and restrooms. And they have what looks like a really fun splash park for the kids.
Trail conditions & character
“Restrooms, and a decent sized water park close to the entrance away from the soccer fields.”
“Parking gets a bit tight so it's best to show up early.”
