Mentioned by Sea Kayak Explorer
The 10 Best Places to Kayak Near Louisville | SeaKayakExplorer
"Long Run Park is an excellent kayaking area only 30 minutes directly west from the center of Louisville. A Stillwater Class I kayaking area, it is perfect for families with young children and those who have never tried kayaking before. The area is very quiet and is often used as a place of introspection by kayaking enthusiasts who like to pause and birdwatch or enjoy a good book at one of the picnic areas nearby."

Mentioned by TripSavvy
The Best Parks in Lexington, Kentucky
"In June 1775, a group of pioneers named their camp at McConnell Springs “Lexington” in honor of Lexington Green in Massachusetts, site of the first battle of the Revolutionary War. Today, McConnell Springs Park serves as a valuable refuge for wildlife, and it’s a very convenient place to enjoy some hiking trails right within city limits when there isn't enough time to get to Red River Gorge. The small nature center has helpful staff and informative exhibits, but the real reason to visit McConnell Springs Park is to enjoy the well-maintained walking trails."

While there, the group learned of the start of the American Revolution and decided to name their settlement in honour of the town in Massachusetts where the first outbreaks of anti-colonial skirmishes had been."
