What makes these caverns so cool is that they are the only air-filled caves accessible to the public in the state.

Established in 1942, this park offers visitors a rare chance to explore the beautiful cave systems by walking from room to room underground.

You can even see the chisel marks made by Civilian Conservation Corp workers in the 1930s who worked to enlarge the cave passageways by hand.

The park offers guided tours, too, for guests who want to learn a little bit more about the cavern than what meets the eye.

These caverns are even more spectacular when you visit the nearby Chipola River and Blue Hole Springs, which allow for boating, fishing, and hiking!
