Located within the Louisville Mega Cavern, the Mega Underground Bike Park is the latest addition to the attraction that is sure to attract BMX fans from all over. The massive newly opened subterranean bike park is the world's largest.
The Mega Underground Bike Park is a part of the roadside attraction that has seen the restoration of the former Louisville Crushed Stone Mine into a tourism magnet.
The Mega Underground Bike Park contains 45 trails totaling 5 m of ramps and obstacles and sits 100 ft underground and boasts a square footage of 320,000. The attraction also features zip lining and challenge courses, while other areas of the cave are still occupied by businesses. The former limestone cavern is built up with empty shipping containers to form the jumps.
