Located in south-central Kentucky, Mammoth Cave National Park is home to the longest cave system in the world. Over 426 miles of cave passageways have been surveyed, making it 1.5 times longer than the second-longest cave system. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an International Biosphere reserve, the 52,000-acre park is home to thousands of years of human history and a diversity of plant and animals. In addition to touring the cave system, visitors to the park hike, bike, fish, horseback ride, canoe, and camp.
