5 Things to Do in Campbellsville
After Riding at Bluff Boom Trails in Green County
Central Kentucky just got a lot more interesting for mountain bikers. Bluff Boom Trails — a new bike park located in Greensburg, less than 15 minutes from downtown Campbellsville — is open and drawing riders from across the region.
Whether you're a local looking for a new place to ride or a visitor passing through Central Kentucky, this is worth knowing about. And if you time it right, you can pair a morning on the trails with an afternoon in Campbellsville for a pretty solid Kentucky day.
1. Grab a Drink or a meal on main Street
After a day on the trails, you've earned a drink or meal — and Main Street delivers. Downtown Campbellsville has several locally owned dining options within easy walking distance of each other. From Harden Coffee to Brothers Barbecue to East First Brewery, Campbellsville has options..
Parking is free throughout the downtown district, so pull in, take a walk, and see what looks good. Check out our Dining section for additional restaurant listings and links to hours.
2. Browse the Local Shops
Downtown Campbellsville has the kind of shopping that's gotten harder to find — specialty retailers, gift shops, and locally made goods that you can't order online. Whether you're looking for something to bring home or just want to browse somewhere interesting, Main Street is worth an hour of your afternoon.
Most of the shops are open Monday through Saturday — hours vary, so it's worth a quick check before you head in.
4. Take a Stroll on the Pitman Creek Trail
If your group still has energy after the bike trails (or if you're looking for a gentler way to stretch out after a day on the trails), the Pitman Creek Trail is a short drive from Main Street and runs through Miller Park — one of the nicest green spaces in the city. It's a favorite with walkers, joggers, and, yes, cyclists, and it connects to a longer trail network if you want to keep going.
It's a good reminder that the natural beauty of this part of Kentucky doesn't stop at the lake.
5. check the events calendar
Campbellsville's downtown calendar stays full year-round — car shows, seasonal festivals, holiday celebrations, outdoor markets. Depending on when you're visiting, there may be something happening right on Main Street worth timing your trip around.
