The sign of Carter Caves State Park

The Carter Caves region has the highest concentration of caves to be found in any area of Kentucky. Cascade and X Cave offer guided tours year-round. Bat and Saltpetre Caves have seasonal tours. Tour information, ticket sales, and schedules are available at the park's Welcome Center. The temperature inside the caves vary between 40 - 60 degrees year around so visitors should dress appropriately and wear sturdy shoes. Enjoy a subterranean adventure, created by nature over millions of years!

Don't just stop at their cave tours though! Be sure to enjoy all of the things that Carter Caves State Resort Park has to offer. These things include, swimming, tennis, canoeing, horseback riding, fishing, golf, miniature golf, and hiking and backpacking. Visit their website for more information!
