This is an amazing place to spend time with friends and family. You could swim, dive, hike, walk your dog, and a ton of fun activities that can fill out your summertime. If you love nature, well, this is a good place for you. Go there and check it, you'll have fun. I am planning to go again...

It’s a beautiful place to visit. Even better if you can get there when there aren’t many people. It’s a super popular park and sometimes you can’t find any parking in the lot. People leave their trash, smoke in the creek, smoke weed in the parking lot, let their dogs run loose, and play their music so loud that it blasts the the entire park. I know it’s a public park, but the lack of consideration from other visitors is what bothers me and keeps me from giving this place five stars.

Big Rock has beautiful scenery. That's probably why it's so crowded all the time. Lots of dirt trails to explore around the water. Definitely an age old Louisville landmark. Playground included.

Everyone seems nice. There is parking on both sides of the creek. Grassy area to sit so you can bring picnic supplies. There are some tables but not many. Plenty of area to wade in and the big rock area has a rope swing so people swing off and jump from the rock. And swim a little. The water is NOT a deep enough place to dive tho.
