The Belvedere is another beautiful area to view the river. It's elevated to provide great views of the sky and Ohio River, and there's often festivals and other events hosted here because it's such a prime location.
This gothic gatehouse that sits upon the reservoir was built in 1879 and is a historic landmark in Louisville. It's a beautiful sight to see this unique building across the water.
