Last Known StatusOpen

This large off-road park offers something for all skill levels and 4x4 vehicle types. The terrain consists of tight and narrow ATV trails, steep and chunky hill climbs to wide and hard packed Jeep roads. The main attraction is a large sand cave that is wide enough for most vehicles to drive through.

Large groups and clubs are welcomed and primitive camping is permitted. There are no electric or water hookups but generators are allowed. The park office sells bagged ice and t-shirts. Amenities include restroom and shower facilities and a food truck that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Other nearby attractions include the world's longest known cave system at nearby Mammoth Cave National Park.

Blue Holler Offroad Park Trail

The large sand cave is a must see when you visit this off-road park. The cave is wide enough for ATVs and UTVs to drive right in.

View of jeep driving away from sand cave on hard packed 4x4 trail.

The view looking out from the sand cave while sitting on an ATV is a little spooky.

This park is perfect for family and group rides.

The cave is wide enough for UTVs, ATVs and even a couple Jeeps to drive right in.

Two young kids standing in front of tree with trail signage.

The cave entrance is labled so you can't miss it.
