Brownsville Details
Located on the Green River west of the park, Brownsville is a better place to rent a canoe than to try to paddle into Mammoth Cave National Park, since a dangerous lock and dam lie on the Green River between the town and the park. However, outfitters in Brownsville will be able to transport you to and from your river trip to avoid this section of river.
