LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The longest cave system in the world underneath Kentucky was selected as one of the most underrated destinations in the South by a national magazine.
Southern Living listed Mammoth Cave National Park as one of the top 10 most underrated destinations in the South.
Southern Living listed Mammoth Cave National Park on its list that was published in early March.
"Between Yellowstone and Yosemite (and dozens of other parks in between), the West is known for being home to the country’s most mind-blowing national parks," Southern Living's Tara Massouleh McCay wrote. "And while the South gets credit for having the most-visited park in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, many people overlook our region’s other parks. Located in south-central Kentucky, Mammoth Cave National Park's limestone formations and underground passageways make up a 400-mile-long system that showcase Earth's evolutionary stages and is the longest known cave system on the planet. Explore its mysterious tunnels on one of the park’s many guided cave tours that range from a wheelchair accessible tour to one that requires crawling. You can even see the cave by lantern."
Other top destinations listed include:
Mammoth Cave National Park Crystal River, Florida, Coastal Mississippi, Hot Springs National Park, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, Fort Payne, Alabama, Virginia Wine Country, Black Mountain, North Carolina, Knoxville, Tennessee, Terlingua, Texas.
