About This Trail

The caves close in May and July for the bats to raise their young. There is a chance that the caves are closed due to flooding. The caves are well maintained and there is more information at the National Park Service website. It is necessary to have Headlamps or small flashlights. The reservoir is a great place to eat lunch.
