Mammoth Cave National Park

About Mammoth Cave National Park

Mammoth Cave is the most extensive cave system in the world, with more than 345 surveyed miles of cave passageways and an estimated 600 miles of undiscovered passages. It is the longest cave system in the world.

Not to be overlooked, the surface area of Mammoth Cave has over 70 miles of trails through out the park. Rivers, bluffs, sinkholes, cave entrances and ridge tops cover the entire Mammoth Cave park system. Other features include wetlands and small sections of old growth forests.

The Nolin and Green rivers run through the parks providing excellent canoeing and fishing. The Green River is considered one of the most biologically diverse rivers in North America.
