Accessibility symbol

Due to the significant challenges involved in cave access for persons with mobility impairments, Mammoth Cave National Park currently does not offer an accessible tour of the Cave. Historic Entrance is viewable from above along the fully accessible Heritage Trail from an overlook between Mammoth Cave Hotel and the Old Guide's Cemetery.

The entrance to Sand Cave is also viewable from the fully accessible Sand Cave Trail, which offers interpretive signs explaining the story and fate of noted caver Floyd Collins. The Sand Cave Trailhead is at the park entrance along the Cave City Road.

Grease-oil lamp  

Did You Know?
The grease-oil lamp was used to illuminate Mammoth Cave for more than a century. Designed after New England whale-oil lanterns, these lamps used cooking grease to light the way.
