Special Interest: BikingCampingHiking
Mammoth Cave National Park is known for having one of the longest limestone cave systems in the world. Dogs are not allowed inside the cave, but are allowed on hiking trails, campgrounds and Woodland Cottages. A map of the whole park is available to give you a great overview of the park. If you visit the caves, you can leave your dog at an outdoor kennel at Mammoth Cave Hotel.
There are 70 miles of hiking trails in the park and several campgrounds that are dog friendly. Biking is also permitted inside the park on certain trails.
