MAMMOTH CAVE, KY - Mammoth Cave National Park law enforcement officers will conduct periodic sobriety and safety checkpoints on park roadways and riverways for the remainder of 2025. The checkpoints will help identify drivers and boat operators who may be under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol (DUI). 

The special operations reduce the incidence of DUIs and increase public awareness of the dangers associated with drinking and driving. Rangers will contact drivers and boaters passing through the checkpoints for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment but will strive to not unnecessarily delay other motorists or boat operators.
