National Cave Day at Rickwood Caverns

The National Caves Association has declared June 6th to be National Caves and Karst Day as a way of increasing awareness of the roles caves play in our lives and in our environment.  It is fun to be underground spending quality time with family and friends.  Caves are educational and allow people to see things they have never seen before.

What makes Rickwood Caverns State Park unique is the massive cave that contains 260-million-year-old formations that were created by water and reveal evidence that the cave was carved from an ocean bed. If you’re looking to cool off from the sweltering summer temperatures, the underground wonder maintains a constant 58-62 degree temperature year round as you travel 175 feet beneath the earth.
