Mammoth Cave National Park Boundary Adjustment Act of 2025
Mammoth Cave National Park: Expanding Park Boundaries
Legislative Progress
House
Key Points
- This bill would allow Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky to grow by adding about 551 acres of land. The new land is located in Edmonson and Barren Counties and would be managed by the National Park Service.
- It updates a very old rule from 1942 that limited how much money could be spent to buy land for the park. The bill adjusts that original $350,000 limit for inflation so the government can afford to buy land at today's prices.
- The expansion is designed to better protect the world's longest known cave system and the natural landscape around it. This helps preserve local wildlife and keeps more land open for public use and tourism.
