Ride Summary:
Several singletrack trails to choose from with varying degrees of technical skills needed.
Trail Description:
The entrance to the park is off 1061. Follow the main road heading towards the campground. Pass the spur road to the park offices continuing to a parking area on your right.
The trails consist of 6 main loops and several alternate routes and beginner bypasses.
Windy Ridge Loop is a 4.4 mile ride above the lake and campground. The trail begins just off the parking area. Winding around it then parallels the park road and heads towards the beach. As it reaches the beach the trail heads North and continues to parallel the road and then the shore. There is a short 0.6 mile trail down to the campground that spurs off to the right. Following the trail you will be deposited back at the parking area.
The North Loop covers 5.4 miles and the area on the Northern side of the park. The trail begins on the opposite side of the road near the parking area. This trail twist and turns with several spur trails to explore. Find Overlook trail and view the scenic lookout. Follow the big loop around as it winds back to the point where it broke off. Continue back to the parking area.
The Marina Loop is the longest at 6.5 miles. This to starts at the parking area at the West end. The trail snakes it's way around and heads to the park office. Continue on the main trail until you reach a Y, take the right/straight trail. Head towards the Green River Marina and take a left to continue the loop. Ignore any trails that breaks off to the left. At the major Y bear right and follow the trail back to the parking area.
The final main trail is South Point Loop. Again this starts in the parking area and heads South towards the water. This loop is much shorter at 2.3 miles. Bypass the spur trails sticking to the main.
How to get there:
From Louisville, head South on I-65. Take 210 East towards Campbellsville. Just past Campbellsville take 55 South to Green River State Park.
Additional Notes:
The park has campgrounds, showers, sandy beaches and trails that are mostly singletrack.

I just spent a day with some friends there and it was ripping fun. The trails are challenging, fast, easy, and techinical. It just depends are where you are. We couldn't hit all of them in one day. We ignored windy trails and the north trail. There is a map available at the grocery store in the campground.In all this wasa great ride adn all around fun. For fast times try "the Point" and "sceninc view" headed towards the campground. Be prepared to catch major air on these speed runs!

So know you know where it is. This is is a well maintained and fun little ride. Enough tech. to test your skill, loose shifting rock on fairly steep if not long climbs. I spent a weekend there and would do it again. Oh Yeah, Cambellville is dry the Sahara if you want to burn one with a your favaorie libation, B.Y.O.B. the whole area suffers from Christ Blight.

Actually it is just named wrong. It is "Green River Lake State Park" and it is in Kentucky.
