An Afternoon in Elizabethtown

Elizabethtown is Kentucky’s first urban trail town. It is full of history, delicious food and shops. The Birria tacos from Papi’s Tacos and More were specTACOlar! They and the trails around Freeman Lake were probably our fav parts of the day! 

We became acquainted with Elizabethtown’s Greenspace Trails years ago when working toward the goal of completing 52 hikes in one year.  We were shocked then that Etown had over 12 miles of trails around the town – with several trail heads and beautiful landscapes. One of our favorite trails was definitely Buffalo Lake, which is an easy 2 miles. Learn more about their trail town options here.

Elizabethtown’s downtown square is now a hopping little spot with shops, restaurants and the local fav coffee shop, Vibe. There’s also the new J.R. Neighbors Restaurant and also The Dreamery, where you can find delish craft gelato.

Etown is also just minutes from Ft. Knox and Lincoln’s Birthplace and less than an hour from Mammoth Cave National Park.
