Mammoth Cave National Park: An Underground Wonder

Deep in the heart of Kentucky, Mammoth Cave National Park is an amazing array of hundreds of miles of underground caves. Used for mining, as hideouts for outlaws, and as inspiration for authors, a trip to this longest known cave in the world is sure to incite awe. There’s plenty to do, see, and learn, so you’re sure to have a great time.

With over 30 miles of rivers, the Green and Nolin, the park is great if you love to fish. Bass, catfish, bluegill and crappie are just a few of the game fish you can hook in these waters. If fishing isn’t quite your thing, kayaking or canoeing are still great ways to enjoy these waters and take in the scenery.

Mammoth Cave National Park hosts many miles of bike trails for those looking to get out and experience nature on their mountain bikes, or their road bikes. Several off road trails are designated for mountain bike use, and street bikes are permitted on all park roads open to the public, just give the right of way to pedestrians and horses.
Then there is the cave itself.

Tours of the cave are given year round, and there are a variety of options. Take the “Frozen Niagara” tour in the winter and see some of the breathtaking, heavily decorated areas of Mammoth Cave. It’s a shorter walk, so perfect for kids or the elderly. In the summer, experience the cave as settlers did in the past by lantern light with the “Violet City Lantern Tour.” On this tour, the lanterns cast shadows and you stop by a 19th century tuberculosis hut!
