  Cave tours by ticket only

  Bio-security screening on exit

  1 gen – 31 dicChiusure

  Everyone leaving the cave walks over decontamination matting, and clothing or footwear worn in another cave is not allowed underground. It is the white-nose fungus in the bat colonies the rangers are keeping out. Fonte ↗

  The Green River rises through the wet months and the ferry crossing inside the park shuts whenever it does, which puts a long detour on the drive to the north side. The riverside trails go under with it. Fonte ↗
