Getting Outdoors

The Carter County region has the highest concentration of caves in all of Kentucky, so it's hardly surprising that you can find some directly in the park. You are able to get guided tours of two of the caves throughout the whole year where you can enjoy an adventure underground in either X Cave or Cascade Cave, both of which we formed over millions of years. Cascade Cave is the name for three different caves, together forming the largest cave in the park. It features an underground lake and a towering 30-foot underground waterfall. X Cave was named for the crossing pattern of the passages within it and features some of the largest rock formations in the park. Other caves include the Saltpetre Cave and Laurel Cave. It is pretty cool going RV camping at Carters Cave State Park knowing there are miles of cave below you.
