This live camera looks out over the Ohio River at Louisville, Kentucky. It suits anyone who wants to see how the river looks right now, whether the water is high or calm, and what the sky is doing over the city. The page also shows local time and the weather for the next three days.
About the river city
Louisville sits on the southern bank of the Ohio River, where the river drops over a series of rapids known as the Falls of the Ohio. Kentucky's largest city is known for its horse-racing heritage, bourbon distilleries and a riverfront that has grown more lively in recent years. The landscape around it is gently rolling, with broad river views and wooded bluffs on the Indiana side.
What to watch on the stream
The view is centred on the river, so the most useful things to follow are the water level, the colour of the current and the movement of boats when they pass. Early mornings often bring calmer water and softer light, while late afternoon can make the surface glow. Changes in cloud cover and rain are easy to spot, and they often explain why the river looks higher or murkier from one day to the next.
Planning a visit
Louisville has a humid subtropical climate, with hot, muggy summers and cool, damp winters. Spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable seasons for walking along the water. The downtown area is a short distance from this camera, and the Falls of the Ohio and the zoo are both nearby, as listed in the cameras section of this page.
