This is Kentucky's vacation paradise - a region teeming with lakes offering some of the best bass fishing in the country, and home to Mammoth Cave, the world's longest recorded cave system. Mammoth Cave attracts over one million visitors annually, who come to see such spectacular formations as Giant's Coffin, Bridal Altar and the Snowball Room. But the cave, located in the scenic valleys of the Green and Nolin Rivers, has an equally fascinating history. Exploration began thousands of years ago by Native Americans, and some of the earliest cave guides were enslaved African-Americans.
Mammoth Cave, a National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of eight area caves open to the public. The region's above-ground attractions are equally spectacular. Area state and resort parks include Dale Hollow Lake, Barren River Lake, and Lake Cumberland State Resort Parks and Green River Lake State Park. Areas
