Mammoth Cave

Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the world’s longest, with 350 miles of surveyed passageways.

“Mammoth Cave isn’t known for formations,” Carson said. “It’s known because it’s the longest in the world. It has mammoth passageways and it goes on and on. It’s like a spelunker’s dream.”

The site has the most extensive cave system on earth. With more than 350 miles of surveyed passageways, it is twice as long as any other known cave. Plus, geologists think there could be as many as 600 miles of passageways that have not been discovered yet.
