Mammoth Cave seeks comments on proposed trail upgrade Follow Us
Question of the Day By - Associated Press - Tuesday, April 6, 2021
CAVE CITY, Ky. (AP) - Mammoth Cave National Park is seeking public comment on a proposal to upgrade a popular cave route that features unique dripstone formations.
Plans call for using concrete for the entire trail surface along the Frozen Niagara Tour route, park spokeswoman Molly Schroer told the Bowling Green Daily News. The trail currently consists of a variety of materials including concrete, aggregate, dirt and recycled lumber, Schroer said. The project would also add an 18-inch high curb along the trail, upgrade steps and replace handrails.
This U.S. national park has the world’s longest cave system and an unusual history
Mammoth Cave National Park might be a top tourist destination in 2021, but it wouldn’t be the first time.
Kentucky’s dazzling caverns were nationally famous by the mid-19th century, occasionally attracting international visitors as well.

Like many places, Mammoth Cave Kentucky’s only national park and the world’s longest cave system saw its visitation hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2019, more than half a million tourists descended on the 53,000-acre park, but that number fell by half in 2020 to just 290,000. Coronavirus precautions were partly responsible. The park limited its typical roster of almost 20 cave tours to a single self-guided tour, and provided timed tickets to groups of no more than 32 people. (As current federal mandates require, all visitors and employees are masked within federal buildings and the cave system.)
