Russell Cave National Monument is committed to making facilities, programs, and services accessible for visitors. Entrance to the park is accessed along a paved roadway and parking area. Concrete sidewalks from the parking lot lead to the visitor center. Benches are located around the visitor center for your convenience.

Parking
Handicapped parking spaces for standard sized vehicles are available in the Visitor Center parking area. Two "oversized" parking spaces which can accommodate campers, buses, and large RV's are available at the far end of the parking lot.

Service animals
All trails and buildings are accessible to service animals.

Buildings
The Visitor Center lobby, restrooms, museum exhibit area, book store and video room are all wheelchair accessible. A wheelchair is available for general use at the visitor center upon request.

Trail accessibility
The boardwalk trail to the cave is slightly undulating but is wheelchair and stroller accessible.

Neither the dirt nature trail nor the asphalt hiking trail are recommended for wheelchairs or strollers. The dirt trail is narrow and rocky while the asphalt trail is considered steep and strenuous. For those who do hike the 1.2 mile paved trail, natural wood benches are placed periodically along the way.

Picnicking
Accessible picnic tables are available at all park picnic areas.

Russell Cave National monument is a fee free park and does not require or issue any of the America the Beautiful The National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass Series passes. For those U.S. citizens interested in visiting federal recreation areas and have conditions that are defined as a "permanent medical disability" we suggest obtaining a free Access Pass.

The Access Pass is free for all U.S. citizens who present documentation (such as from a licensed physician, the Veteran's Administration, or a vocational rehabilitation agency) of a permanent medical disability. To learn more about this and the other types of passes available, please visit
