Louisville Kentucky’s Big Four Bridge And Louisville Waterfront Park On The Ohio River

Louisville Waterfront Park

On a fall afternoon, I spent hours wandering around downtown Louisville, Kentucky. I wanted to photograph Louisville Waterfront Park from the Kentucky side. The park situated on the Ohio River facing Indiana is a multi-acre park that has concert areas, green space, playgrounds, and a reclaimed rail bridge (now a bicycle and pedestrian bridge) called Louisville Kentucky’s The Big Four Bridge.

About Louisville Kentucky’s Big Four Bridge

The Big 4 Railroad got its name from the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago, and St. Louis Railway, decades ago. The approach to the bridge is 1/4 mile and is an awesome-looking looping ramp. I spent a while photographing the Ohio River, the bridge, Indiana, and Kentucky. The bridge is beautiful and is a great reuse of an abandoned railroad bridge. This bridge is a vital pedestrian link and Louisville Kentucky with Jeffersonville Indiana and was probably part of Louisville’s waterfront master plan, if I had to guess. It is separate from downtown, so don’t expect a short walk from one to the other.

One of my goals is to photograph a downtown Louisville Kentucky engagement session or wedding.  There are several amazing bourbon distilleries, breweries, and unique buildings.  Call or email me if you’d like me to be your Louisville engagement photographer or Louisville wedding photographer! I also serve southern Indiana and central Indiana. I am a Dayton Ohio based travel photographer.
