Black Willow Trail is located in Beckley Creek Park, part of the Parklands of Floyds Fork in Louisville, Kentucky.

The Black Willow is an end-to-end trail, meaning it doesn’t make a loop. In this video, we’ll show you how to make a loop by parking at the Humana Grand Allee and starting and ending there. The total mileage was 2.42 miles.

The trail conditions are very easy, with no hills and a fine gravel covering nearly 100% of the trail. We used the paved Louisville Loop for the beginning and end of the trip, in order to make a loop.

The trail travels mostly through meadows, offering beautiful scents and sounds, depending on the time of the year and what is in bloom. The frogs were wonderfully deafening on the trip, as you approached the wetlands near the Humana Grand Allee.

The only downside to this trail is that it’s in the heart of Beckley Creek Park and heavily used on pretty days. If you’re looking for solitude, you’d do better to head south to Turkey Run.
