Reviews of Caperton Swamp Park

I've been walking the swamp since I was a child so I'm biased to start. I love waking here it is peaceful and great if you're sorry on time but need a dose of nature to keep ya going.

Lovely little place for a stroll. It only takes about 15 minutes to walk it, so I go around twice.

Really cool park for the cooler months! I don't recommend it in the summer as there is many mosquitos. Some rmfabtastic nature can be found out there.

Troy Windhorst

Nice little hidden gem. This is a small, well maintained loop trail that snakes it way back to a large, swampy pond. It's not a major hikers destination by any means, but local hikers should make an effort to check it out at some point.

Best park in the area for sure. Definitely a birding hotspot and always interesting wildlife any time of the year. Just be respectful of those who live there and do your part to preserve one of the remaining spots of swampland along the river.

Fun little park right on outskirts of Louisville. Grey spot to sight birds and other woodland creatures. I’ve seen blue herring, possum, raccoon, Turkey, and many birds here.

Birds, insects, plants, water and amazing sounds and sights of nature. I walked up to an Indigo Bunting and it sat on its perch watching me as I walked by, taking me in as common as the sunshine and breeze. Entering Caperton Swamp and walking the grounds nurtures my spirit, reminds me of my place with nature and transports my soul to a place I cherish. I've recorded bird sounds and the soundscape there but bordered by River Road and Interstate 64 create a noise pollution which serves only as a reminder how important it is to the human spirit to get away from road and urban noises and steep oneself in nature! Thanks to the benefactors and Louisville for securing and preserving Caperton Swamp for the public's and nature's welfare and benefit.

There's usually not a lot of people here, so I go there to scream sometimes. I march into the marsh and scream my feelings right into the swamp's face with my arms thrust backward and my neck jutting forward. I tell it all my problems at the top of my lungs and say things I'm too afraid to say to people. Sometimes a flock of birds will take flight at the first utterance of my scream, and it feels like my troubles are physically leaving my body. So, if you go out to the swamp, and you hear screaming, it's fine. It's just me. Screaming into a swamp, because it's cheaper than therapy

Always love visiting here. Well maintained trail, always full of birds and never too busy.

As a retired naturalist I am most impressed with the efforts to eradicate invasive plant species, and the planting of so many native species in compliment to the buttonbush, buck bush, and walnut etc... already in place. Yesterday I noted a lot of recent beaver sign, a great egret, and a pair of Ruddy, or more likely, Buffleheads; bad eyes, no optics with me. It is quite the pocket wilderness/oasis in our urban landscape.
