Fisherville is the southeast corner of Louisville, KY. Located just minutes from east Louisville, Taylorsville Lake Recreation Area, and Shelbyville, KY, Fisherville is an ideal location for those who love the space with city amenities. Fisherville's prime feature is Floyd's Fork which winds through much of the area. At night, the skies are starry and dark, something that is hard to find close to a major metropolis. The rolling hills are full of farms, large lot subdivisions, forests, and wildlife.
Recently, this area has become the cornerstone of a new award winning greenway plan that will contain many new parks, conservation areas, hiking trails, horseback riding areas, canoeing, and much more. Connecting the system will be Louisville's new 100-mile Loop Trail. While we are excited by the prospect of such a nice development, many of us are working with planners to make sure that the health and characteristics of the area are preserved. We do this by encouraging responsible development with adequate roadways, protection of Floyd's Fork, preservation of old growth forests, minimal light pollution, and proper management of drainage and sewage treatment.
I have created FishervilleKY.com in an attempt to bring together the residents that are spread so far apart in this countryside. While we live out here to enjoy the natural beauty, I feel many of us really live in the city and this is just where we sleep at night. My goal with this website is to help Fisherville become a place where we can not only live, but work and play as well!
Keep Fisherville Green and Clean!
