Gunpowder Creek Park (Sperti Park) Winter Walkabout
Overview. This local park is an ideal spot to enjoy the winter weather in Northern Kentucky with wide trails, some beautiful creekside views, and easy road access. I walked all the trails within the park boundaries, but additional trails are available further south abutting the Earl and Hazel Jones Center for Conservation. If memory serves, the conservation center is only open to program participants.

Trail Navigation. You can choose your own combination of paths, but I walked nearly all of them if you download the .GPX file. Basically, take the doubletrack trail downhill and hang a left for the most direct creek access to the northern part of the park. Additional creek access can be found near the outdoor theater and south from there. I took the high path away from the creek to return.
