There are plenty of fun outdoor activities you can participate in at Mammoth Cave.

Feeling adventurous? Hike through the park on one of the many different hiking trails for some one-on-one time with nature. If you’re drawn to the water, grab your fishing pole and head out to Green River to catch some bluegill or bass; or bring a kayak or canoe and paddle your way along the Nolin River. Don’t feel like walking? Saddle up for a nice horseback ride north of the Green River, or bring your bike along and ride through the park while taking in the nature around you. This winter, the park hosts an event called Cave Sing, where you can explore the park while also enjoying wonderful music throughout the caves.
