Hima offers a peaceful, close-knit setting with easy access to outdoor adventure and daily conveniences. Minutes from Manchester, residents enjoy quick trips for shopping and community events while returning home to quiet roads and tree-lined ridges. Weekends often start on the trails of the Daniel Boone National Forest’s Redbird District, where the famed Redbird Crest Trail draws hikers, mountain bikers, and off-highway riders, and broader exploration across the Daniel Boone National Forest offers fishing, paddling, and stunning overlooks. Families appreciate that Goose Creek and the South Fork of the Kentucky River meet in nearby Manchester, creating scenic routes for kayaks and canoes when water levels allow.
Education anchors community life through Clay County Public Schools, while opportunities for continuing education are close by at Eastern Kentucky University’s Manchester campus and Somerset Community College’s London Campus. Healthcare needs are covered at AdventHealth Manchester, and local service organizations like Red Bird Mission extend regional support and volunteer experiences. Commuters can reach London in neighboring Laurel County with ease, while Hima’s location in Clay County keeps you connected to festivals, youth sports, and celebrated Appalachian traditions.
