Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky
Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave National Park is home to the world’s longest known cave system, which currently has 420 miles of sub-surface pathways—and more are continually being discovered. Visitors can explore the cave during a wheelchair-accessible tour, which are typically offered twice daily from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and once daily during the remainder of the year (due to maintenance issues, tours are currently paused, but scheduled to resume by early July). There are also a number of accessible above-ground trails and points of interest, like the Echo River Spring Trail, which features boardwalks, viewpoints designed to increase visibility from a wheelchair via glass panels on the railings, and educational trailside exhibits with tactile features, like river maps and raised pictures of the park’s native plants and flowers a accompanied by audio guides.
