93 Huckleberry Knob RdWhen visiting Mammoth Cave, make sure to explore above ground, too, in order to understand the geology even more. You can easily find one trailhead by parking at the Green River Ferry parking lot where you can easily find the trailhead by the porta-potties. The trail is flat and accessible. It takes you to the Echo River Spring from which underground water rises up to form the short above ground portion of the Echo River. The trail then proceeds to River Styx where you can find another spring from yet another underground river. Both Echo River Spring and River Styx Spring enter the Green River.
