Sunset Dome Park

Horse Cave’s Sunset Dome Park at the corner of Main and Smith Streets (on the former site of the Owens Hotel) is located on top of Hidden River Cave’s huge Sunset Dome and a 6-panel covered exhibit is nestled amid the 2/3 mile walking trail, gazebos, and Adirondack chairs.  

The panels share the story of the pollution and restoration of the cave that runs underneath, the Cave Wars, the vast size of Sunset Dome itself, and the history of the relationship with the railroad that borders the park. There’s even a unique map of the domes and passageways in the cave.

If you’re looking for a sweet walking trail, a place to sit a while, read, or rest, a picnic space, or a bit of history and geology, Sunset Dome Park is the perfect new spot for that!
