This park contains many different resources. It possesses the longest cave in the world, among hundereds of smaller caves. Most visitors take a guided tour of the cave, but other recreational opportunities exist on the surface. There are three historic churches still existing in the park, and an indeterminable number of cemeteries. Numerous trails wind through the landscape taking hikers through the many different ecosystems within the park. Kayak the Green River or take the Miss Green River II tour to Turnhole Bend.
