Imagine paddling through the darkness of a 100-year-old flooded limestone mine, surrounded by towering rock walls and glowing blue water. The Gorge Underground offers one of the most unusual adventures in Red River Gorge, taking visitors beneath the mountains of Eastern Kentucky to explore a hidden underground world. Guided kayaking tours lead you through mysterious passageways where headlamps illuminate the rock formations and reveal the fascinating history of the old mine. The calm water makes this an excellent experience for beginners, while the incredible underground scenery creates an adventure unlike anything you'll find above ground.

Located in Rogers, Kentucky, The Gorge Underground offers several ways to explore, including one-hour guided kayak tours, 30-minute cave boat rides, and deluxe adventures featuring crystal-clear kayaks and illuminated stand-up paddleboards. The glowing LED lights on the deluxe tours reveal the underwater landscape and even the rainbow trout swimming beneath you. The mine stays around 52 degrees year-round, making it a refreshing escape during summer and a unique adventure in any season. With options for couples, families, and groups, it's an unforgettable addition to your Red River Gorge vacation.
