The Widow’s Walk Ice Creamery & Bicycle Rentals

Great service, great prices, great view. What more can you ask for?
My favorite little place to visit on a warm summer’s evening. I highly recommend the dreamsicle shake– delicious!
Don’t forget to get your «spot» and use your SpotOn card or the app on your phone. I earned more spots last summer than I care to admit! It’s quite a haul from my house in Louisville but definitely worth a drive over.

Great view and cute little spot to grab some ice cream and sit outside. It was beautiful outside today when we went. I got Moose Tracks and it was so delish. My boyfriend got Strawberry Cheesecake and he said it tasted a little like freezer burn. Not the best — best overall a great spot. And the pups loved it too.

Cute little ice cream shop of the side of the river. Lots of places to sit. The line moved quickly. The prices were expensive, but it is worth the stop if you are feeling like a nice place to sit, catch up with friends, and eat some ice cream.

Nice place to get an ice cream after getting your hair done at the widow’s peak! I tried the flavor of the day… coconut. Pleasantly Surprised by coconut flakes!

Excellent location. Great after dinner dessert. Kids enjoyed the superman ice cream and i had a root beer float.

We rented two bikes from WW during a quick trip to Louisville. The shop is located across the river in Clarksville, IN-​about a 10 minute drive from downtown. They have a few different options: men’s, women’s, adult trycicles, kid’s, and adult bikes w/​baby carriers. We initially tried the tandem, but that didn’t work out for us-​much more difficult to navigate than it looks.
I’d recommend WW b/​c of its location and friendly proprietors. A ½ mile to the left is the Louisville Big Four pedestrian bridge that spits you out onto Waterfront Park. From there, you can ride into the city or along the riverwalk. It’s a breezy, enjoyable little ride. We then rode back to WW and went the opposite way down the Ohio River trail. It’s a mostly flat trail that follows the Ohio River Falls and through the small town of Clarksville.

The owners are very friendly and accommodating. High quality ice cream. Perfect location on the right next to the park.

Seriously nice guys with good ice cream where you can rent out a bike. It’s a beautiful place to bike as well, right on the river. Try the sherbet treat, it’s pretty darn amazing.

I noticed alot of the reviews of this place arent really about the food but are about the view and the park nearby and family outings.
The quality of food here is low. The brownies in the sundaes look like they were pulled out of a little Debbie’s bag. The waffle bowls look and taste like they are shipped in by the hundred. These two things are things I expect to be homemade at a good ice cream store.
The guy working the store tried to make fun of us because we were «lost in the menu»… Why not instead of making fun of customers you give us a recommendation on whats popular or your favorite? Instead I had to ask what we should get as he chuckled.
Not impressed. Also, for the extra dollar, get the double not the single.

Great view of downtown Louisville and really good ice cream. What else do you need?

The menu is huge — hand dipped ice cream, shakes and sundaes! It took me awhile to decide what to get! The ice cream was delicious! Once we got our ice cream we went to sit along the river and enjoy the view. They also offered bike rentals and some food. We will definitely be returning!

My husband and I were out looking for a place off the beaten path. I had seen a picture online of the colorful Victorian house and was immediately intrigued. At first was disappointed when I realized the ice creamery was not actually in the house but in a small shack out back. Although after exiting the expansive menu and then tasting the ice cream… the location didn’t matter. It. Was. Amazing. My husband and I each ordered one of their signature sundaes…- single version… And it was awesome. Fresh creamy ice cream, tons of different flavor options and topped off with hot fudge, whip cream, and nuts. I had a sundae with PB cup ice cream and sliced bananas. My husband had dark chocolate ice cream and birthday cake ice cream on top of 2 WARM brownies. Oh my gah. I can’t wait to go back and try their milkshakes, smoothies, waffle comes, or even some of their food! The burgers and hot dogs also looked amazing. If I haven’t sold you enough, it’s located across a perfect look out spot where you can set on a bench and have an amazing view of the Louisville skyline. The last cherry on top– they also do bike rental. If you find yourself in need of an ice cream or chocolate fix– drive over the river and check it out!

The family and I rented 4 bicycles yesterday despite the sprinkling weather and had an amazing time. We rode around the bike trail for a little over an hour, got some great pictures and then enjoyed a couple huge sundays. There were 4 of us so we bought two to split and that was plenty. I suggest the Proud Mary sundae that is chocolate and peanut butter. The staff there was so helpful and friendly. Awesome place!

It would be impossible not to love The Widow’s Peak with its old fashioned charm. The owners are extremely customer oriented, treating brand new customers like familiar friends. Their bike rental has a decent selection of bikes for men, women, and children. During my first rental the owner took time to ensure that the seat was the proper height for me and that I was comfortable on the bike that I had chosen before I ever left the lot. The shop sits right on the Fall’s of the Ohio and the greenway so it was easy to take an hour ride without ever having to use public streets. The Widow’s Peak also sells amazing ice cream sundae’s which make a perfect after ride snack. This place is so charming and fun that I highly recommend it for dates or as a family activity.

Went here with a Groupon, well spent! I love this place! Gorgeous atmosphere, delicious ice cream, and wonderful people working behind the counters! Will be making it a common stop for my bike rides!

I love this place! Beautiful view too! This ice cream shop has changed over the years. It used to be housed in the Victorian house and has since moved to a smaller space right behind the house. So do your best not to walk into the hair salon that is now there and stare like a goober while your brain tries to register the difference between hair salon and ice cream parlor. Doh! The ice cream is delicious and they make all kinds of wonderful sundaes and mixtures with really fun names. And why I didn’t take a picture of the menu is beyond me! Dang-​it! Also they have a few concrete tables off to the opposite side where you can sit and enjoy your creamy goodness while the kids run up the flood wall easement and pretend to jump to their deaths on the other side. (It is about a two foot drop but if you don’t know that, it looks like they are gonners when they jump!) The kids LOVE this place and so do I!

Adorable! Lovely setting, riverside. They have Spumoni, too.

Take yourself across the river. While (or after) you enjoy the skyline view of the Ville, or a walk at Falls of the Ohio, might as well indulge in some ice cream from Widow’s Walk.
At the back of a big candy-​colored, pastel confection of a house, the ice cream shop offers your usual sundaes and shakes and deliciousness. The workers are always pleasant, the ice cream always delicious.
It’s worth a trip across the bridges. No joke.

Great place between Rocky’s /​Bristol and the Falls of Ohio to sit down, satisfy your sweet tooth and get the best view of the city. The ice cream shop is good — has sundaes and all sorts of options… Grab your ice cream and go across the street and enjoy the view from the park.
