Hiking
With more than 80 miles of trails within Mammoth Cave National Park, considered the best Kentucky park for hiking, you’ll find trails that provide both the day hiking experience you’re looking for as well as breathtaking vistas and the beauty of nature.
Cycling
Some of the best Kentucky cycling routes are waiting in Mammoth Cave National Park and surrounding areas.
Paddling
For flat water paddling enthusiasts looking for outdoor adventures, it doesn’t get much better than Kentucky canoeing and kayaking trails, especially along the cool waters of Hart County’s Blueway on the Green.
Horseback
Guided horseback riding enables you to explore the area without transporting your own horse. For riders of all abilities, Adventures of Mammoth Cave offers a one-hour scenic trail ride with panoramic views along the gentle Mammoth Cave hills.
Underground Trails
Not all of our trails are above ground. As a matter of fact, some of the most magnificent scenery can be found along our cave trails that are all open year round.
Walking and Driving
Check out one of our many walking trails or take a drive through the beautiful Kentucky countryside to check out the Hart County Barn Quilt Trail, local restaurants, shops or farm markets.
