Green River Ferry suspended

Green River Ferry service is suspended because low water levels prevent operation.

  • Service will resume once water levels rise and conditions are safe; a river forecast is available.
  • If the ferry is closed, the nearest crossing is via Hwy 70 through Brownsville; call the ferry hotline at (270) 758-2166 for current status.

Check current park conditions before traveling.

ClosureUpdated

Accessible Tour unavailable

The Accessible Tour is unavailable because mechanical issues have taken the cave elevator out of service.

  • Check back for updates or call the visitor center at (270) 758-2180.

Check current park conditions before visiting.

ClosureUpdated

Select trails closed for rehabilitation

The Old Guides Trail, Heritage Trail, Sunset Point Trail, and areas of the Sinkhole Trail are closed for a trail rehabilitation project.

Check current park conditions before planning a hike.

CautionUpdated

Powerboat launching prohibited at Houchin Ferry

Powerboat launching is prohibited at Houchin Ferry because the breach and subsequent removal of Lock and Dam 6 lowered the Green River too much for safe launching.

Check the current Superintendent’s Compendium before boating.
