Site to Help Visitors Plan Their Outdoor Adventures

MAMMOTH CAVE, KY (June 3, 2024)Cave Country Trails, a regional network of biking, hiking, water, caving and equestrian trails located in the Mammoth Cave/South Central Kentucky region recently launched a new website to help visitors plan their outdoor adventures. Cave Country Trails - Kentucky's Primary Trail Resource was developed by Makespace, a Louisville-based company. 

 “We’re thrilled to launch this new resource for visitors to the region. For nearly a year we’ve been researching, compiling and developing detailed trail information to put into a more accessible format for visitors,” said Rachelle Wright, Cave Country Trails project manager. “Our goal is to encourage more people to explore our trails, both locals and out-of-towners alike. The new website will help users get more and better trail information quickly and easily so they can plan their trip.”

 The cost to develop the site was an expense shared by nine area convention and visitors’ bureaus from funds they received from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Bowling Green Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, Butler County Tourism, Cave City Tourism, Edmonson County Tourism, Franklin Simpson Tourism, Glasgow/Barren County Tourism, Horse Cave/Hart County Tourism, Munfordville Tourism, and Park City Tourism joined resources to develop the site which they hope will encourage visitors to spend time in the area.

 “Trail users in Kentucky are so fortunate to have such an extensive multiple use trail system. Whether you’re a hiker, biker, paddler, caver, or equestrian, there’s an option for you. These trails take you through some of the most beautiful woodlands and waterways our state has to offer and are accessible and enjoyable throughout the year,” said Jeff Bruce, Member Cave Country Trails Board and avid trail user.
