Hamburg Trail
Parks and Rec describes this as a shared use (bike/walking) trail from Sir Barton Way to near Winchester Rd. They give its length at about .3 miles. It has three access points.
Point #1--Sir Barton Rd.
Point #2 (that really long staircase on the left) Lowe's parking lot
Point #3 (ramp extends to the left, as well as staircase) Walmart Parking lot
If you're driving, you can park at Lowe's or Walmart (top of the hill), but you will have a steep climb back up to your car. For our review, I came in from Sir Barton. Having seen the trail from the parking lot, I can say without a doubt that this is the easiest and prettiest place to start this trail--it also give you the longest route and avoids annoying hills. This trail is surprisingly scenic for its location, and has a bonus horse cemetery.
I'm dead serious about the horse cemetery. This is Kentucky.
Scenic view towards the cemetery.
You'd never guess this was next door to a Walmart.
I'd say its biggest drawbacks are its short length and the way it just sort of dead ends, instead of looping back on itself.
Seriously, they couldn't have connected it to another parking lot or a sidewalk or something?
Still, not a bad trail for a lunch time walk. I also noticed some lamp posts, so it may be doable at night, too.
Numerical ratings:
All areas are out of five with one being bad and five being good.
terrain (steepness): 5 (1 if approached from the parking lot)
shadiness: 3

Overall: 17/20
Other comments: Would use on a regular basis.
