The Mammoth Cave Railroad Bike & Hike Trail, Kentucky
View Original Description
The Mammoth Cave Railroad Bike and Hike Trail is a 9 miles trail that follows an old railroad corridor around Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky. The exact route of the Mammoth Cave Railroad could not be completely duplicated due to the development of state and park roads since the railroad's closure. Your route today will require crossing these roads at several places. Please use extreme caution at road crossings. If you are enjoying the trail with children, be especially aware and do not let them ride ahead.
Although this trail follows portions of the original Mammoth Cave Railroad line, this is not a uniformly flat, level trail. You are traveling in hilly country, and must ascend and descend grades that can in places be steep and difficult. Between the Furlong Cemetery spur trail and Shackleford Cemetery, you MUST dismount your bicycle and walk it along the designated area of trail.
