Activities For Dogs In Mammoth Cave National Park

With nearly 53000 acres of land, the Mammoth Cave National Park presents a lot of opportunities for a lot for outdoor exploration and voyaging for both you and your dog. However, with the mammoth-like (pun intended!) size of the park, you probably would need more than one day to see all that it has to offer. The best way to extend your trip to the national park without leaving its vicinity is to go camping. Fortunately, Mammoth Cave National Park allows campers to bring their dogs with them just as long as they are supervised at all times and are not a nuisance to the other people in the campgrounds. 

The Mammoth Cave National Park is one of the country’s premier destinations for hiking and outdoor adventures. This is because the park has over 70 miles of hiking paths and trails, most of which go around rivers, waterfalls and lakes. While trekking these trails, you also encounter some of the most beautiful hills and valleys with some pretty scenic views to match. Park visitors and their canine buddies will have a blast hiking through the trails and getting some mileage in. Most of these trails are paved and beginner-friendly, making it suitable for all types of hikers. Just make sure that your dog is kept on a leash and you are good to go. 

Once you are done visiting and checking out all the worthy spots within the Mammoth Cave National Park, it does not mean that your trip with your pooch should end. There are plenty of other spots and destinations in the vicinity of the park that might be worth looking into. One of the most dog-friendly places that you can visit with your dog is Dinosaur World. The attraction is a self-guided outdoor museum which has several life-size dinosaurs and other features related to the prehistoric animals. While this is a spot that is primarily suited for families with children, adults and their dogs are also welcome in the attraction, as long as they are kept on a leash.
