6의 에드먼슨 카운티가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Gigantic cave. A number of historical traces, from graffiti to saltpetre mining in the cave, but few stalactites. If you want to see stalactites, you should rather visit the Carlsbad Caverns.

The Historic Entrance of Mammoth Caves has been open to the surface for thousands of years, and there is evidence of prehistoric people using this opening for shelter and to gather resources. The area is free to the public, and extends roughly 300 feet into the cave. You will need to descend around 65 stairs in order to access the cave. The area can be very popular in the summer, so there may be a wait in order to enter the cave.

The Old Guide's Cemetery is one of around 80 cemeteries within the national park. The cemetery is best known as the resting place of Stephen Bishop. Bishop was a guide at Mammoth Caves for over 20 years, starting in 1838.

All over the Mammoth Caves area, natural groundwater makes its way to the surface and flows to the Green River. At River Styx Spring, the groundwater is a green color as a result of being forced through layers of limestone in its journey to the surface.

Cedar Sink is a 300 foot (91 m) sinkhole that covers an area of almost 7 acres. It is an easy family friendly walk to get to the sink hole, and does require going down several sets of stairs. The area is a very popular geocaching spot.
