Local Overnight Trips

Our local overnight trips are for those seeking an adventure that prefer their time outside in smaller doses; are new to outdoor sports and want a comfortable format to give it a try; or just simply have limited time available. Whether you are in the Louisville area for a visit, new to town or live here, our activities and destinations highlight some of our most unique natural treasures. Our overnight trips are generally one or two nights out, but some destinations offer extended options for up to four nights out. In every case, each trip is designed to fit your schedule and personalized for your comfort, interest and ability level. We can even provide local transportation and personal equipment if needed. Many of our Day Trips can also be extended to overnight trips. Contact Us or call our office for details.

Local Overnight Trips Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to have prior experience to go on a local overnight trip?

As long as you have reasonable fitness and are comfortable walking, carrying a pack or paddling a canoe for a portion of the day and sleeping in a tent, you should do just fine. We are prepared to discuss specific trips and how they may relate to your individual level of readiness.

What equipment is needed for the local overnight trips?

All of our local overnight trips are designed those new to the outdoors and for visitors to our area. So we understand you may not have any equipment or have it with you. For each trip, all group equipment, food, and tents are provided. And if needed, we also provide personal equipment such as sleeping bags, sleeping pads, backpacks, eating utensils, and more. Upon confirming your participation in a trip, you will receive a detailed list of personal items required and if don’t have something, just let us know. We’ve got you covered.

What many miles will we hike or paddle each day?

Because each of our Local Overnight trips is scheduled as requested by you, we can customize each outing to your activity and comfort level, so daily mileage will vary per trip. Generally, the pace and distance covered is flexible to accommodate varying trail conditions, weather, the ability of your group and your preferred blend of activity and relaxation.

How much advanced notice is necessary for scheduling a Local Overnight Trip?

We prefer to have as much notice as possible in order to provide you and your group the best experience possible. But we understand that sometimes you just need to get outside or are only in town for a limited time. So we do our very best to accommodate every request, even on short notice. It is best to Contact Us as soon as you know you want to get out.
