You’ll Never Forget A Hike Through This Iowa Cave
Iowa often gets a bad reputation for being a flat, flyover state with little more than farms and cornfields, but those of us who call Iowa home know that’s absolutely not true. From remarkable lakes and rivers to sprawling forests full of wonder, Iowa is home to plenty of stunning natural beauty. The best way to experience said natural beauty is with an unforgettable hike, and we know just the place to take you. Lace up those hiking boots and get ready for a one-of-a-kind adventure.


The cave is small, measuring in at approximately six feet in height at the opening before dropping to a crawling height after ten feet, but it still makes for a wonderful adventure.

Bring a flashlight, gloves, and kneepads if you want to explore.

Be aware, however, that it is not advised to hike down the ravine if it is raining or if rain is possible, as flash flooding is common in this area.

Depending on the time of year you visit, you might even encounter a seasonal waterfall.

Measuring in at just 46 acres of primitive land, prairie, and stream, this unique park is a popular destination among locals for stream fishing and hunting. This primitive park is open daily from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
