Iroquois is a large municipal park in the southwest corner of Louisville, that was first developed in 1888, and in time grew from 313 to 725 acres. Along with several viewpoints like the above, it also preserves a stand of old growth forest. In addition to views of Louisville, a visitor can see parts of Indiana, including parts of New Albany, Floyds Knobs, and the hills that line the northern side of the Ohio River. The park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, and is managed along with Cherokee, Shawnee and numerous other city parks as part of the Olmstead Parks Conservancy.
