After passing the high school, Houchin's Ferry Road enters the western part of the Mammoth Cave National Park.

"[9] Ollie Road continues northeast past a few residences before ending at an intersection with Kentucky Route 728 right near the KY 728/1827 split near Demunbruns Store and Lincoln communities, which are located east of the Nolin Lake State Park area.

Some residents of northeastern Edmonson County had long commuted from the Lincoln, Ollie and Demunbruns Store areas to Brownsville by way of the ferry.

[14] In 2013, Houchin's Ferry was closed and put on a hiatus due to various reasons, which caused a hardship on commutes between Brownsville and the rural northeastern areas of Edmonson County north of Mammoth Cave.

The Lincoln Volunteer Fire Department in the Demunbruns Store area held a town hall-style meeting regarding the closing of the ferry, and citizens of Edmonson County were asked to call their congressmen and register their concerns about it.
