Mammoth Cave is the longest known cave system in the world; the National Park Service reports 426 miles surveyed. The park lies mainly in Edmonson County, with small areas in Hart and Barren counties. Saltpeter was mined here for gunpowder during the War of 1812, and Salts Cave inside the park was mined by Indigenous people. The pin marks the NPS visitor center, where cave tours start.
