Experience the Knob Creek Conservancy: Nature Trails and History in Hodgenville, Kentucky.

Welcome to another exciting episode of the Outdoor Adventure Series podcast! Today, we're thrilled to bring you a conversation with two exceptional guests, Jimmy Shaw and Jim B. Phelps, representing the historic destination of Hodgenville, Kentucky, and the Knob Creek Conservancy.

Jimmy hails from an area rich in history, with deep roots tracing back to Abraham Lincoln. Known for its charming small-town vibe, the community boasts eateries offering classic short-order meals. Jimmy takes pride in his region's heritage, where visitors can explore a museum dedicated to Lincoln, indulging in the historical richness the area is celebrated for.

Jim B. has lived in Hodginville nearly his whole life. After attending college in Lexington, KY, he returned to his hometown to pursue a career in education. His journey took an unexpected turn when his father became the mayor, leading to the rediscovery of unused city property at McDougal Lake.

Jimmy and Jim B. share their deep roots in the community and their passionate efforts to promote this hidden gem with other community leaders. You'll hear how the Knob Creek Conservancy has transformed unused land into a thriving hub for outdoor enthusiasts, offering hiking, mountain biking, and more against the backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty.
