Cave River Valley Natural Area

Great historical site, especially if you know the story of the Pioneer Village at Spring Mill State Park. This is where it all began. Plus, the hibernating bats. Very cool.

We just kind of just stumbled upon this place yesterday and were very glad that we did! Beautiful scenery... A fantastic place to spend the day and I can't wait to go back

The beat place in Indiana to explore and the beauty is breathtaking

Please stay out of the caves not only for the physical integrity of the cave, but for the ecosystem within as well. Hibernating bats can die from disturbances as well as the presence of white nose syndrome in North America. Cave salamanders use the pools and rock cover to lay eggs. Not only are these animals important to preserve, but your safety is important as well. Conditions inside the caves can be hazardous. High water and loose stone can cause injury or death. Please use caution and your better judgement to preserve Cave River Valley.
