Sloan's Pond Loop Trail

Sloan's Pond Loop Trail at Mammoth Cave National Park in Park City, Kentucky is an easy 0.6 mile boardwalk loop that circles Sloan's Pond. There are two lookout points along the trail and usually plenty of wildlife to watch.

Not much than a quick stroll along the pond, but it can be buggy. Dogs are allowed on this trail.

Poison Ivy: Much like the rest of the surface trails at Mammoth Cave National Park, this trail has plenty of poison ivy off of the boardwalk. Be sure to not leave the boardwalk.
