Attracting
hundreds of thousands of tourists annually, Mammoth Cave and
the land above it was designated a National Park by the federal
government in 1941. It is the longest known cave system in
the world with over 350 miles of passageways and underground
river systems. In 1981, the area became a World Heritage Site
and was designated an International Biosphere Reserve by the
United Nations in 1990 because of its unique environment and
ecology.
In
many ways, Mammoth
Cave National Park is really two parks in one with the
serenity and solitude of the caves below ground and the rugged
beauty of over 80 square miles of forests, wildlife, rivers,
and trails above. Check with our Reservation Desk for information
on cave tours and schedules along with information on "surface"
recreational and educational programs offered by the U.S.
Park Service. It's your tax dollars at work! Take advantage
