Cave-crawling and old-fashioned lantern tours let visitors experience the huge cavern as few visitors get to see it. And with plentiful trails, boating, horse riding and fishing opportunities on the surface, you can have a wonderful time at Mammoth Cave National Park above ground or below.
Belly-crawl, y'all
About 300 feet beneath the park's wooded hillsides there is something Ranger Joel Gillespie calls the "test hole." It is used, he explains, to "test your limits" at the very beginning of the 3-hour Introduction to Caving or 6-hour Wild Cave tours.
