Walks & Trails

Paducah has more than 5 miles of Greenway Trail linking downtown to County Park Road running through Bob Noble Park and Stuart Nelson Park and adjacent to the Ohio River Boat Launch.  Much of the trail is concrete and follows the top of the floodwall levee.  The 1.75 mile stretch between County Park Road and Bob Noble Park is gravel and surrounded by woods.  The best places to park and access the trail are at Stuart Nelson Park, Bob Noble Park, or the Convention Center and riverfront

The bridge in the picture is a beautiful backdrop for photos.  There are two similar bridges that can be accessed from the back of Stuart Nelson Park on the Greenway Trail next to the disc golf course.  Head either left or right on the trail to reach the bridges.  The western bridge, Bob Leeper Bridge, connects to the McCracken County Trail loop (approximately 1.4 miles in length).  The eastern bridge (pictured) is on the trail toward Noble Park.
