Blanchard Springs Caverns

Blanchard Springs Caverns are a cave system located within the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest and are the only public caves owned by the US government that are not under the control of the National Park Service. The caves are Arkansas' largest in terms of volume and second-longest in terms of length, with a passage span of 8.1 miles.

The three-level cave system lies near Mountain View and is open to the public for guided excursions along multiple tour routes, including the Dripstone Trail, which explores the higher levels of the caverns. The Discovery Trail leads to a 1.2-mile length of the caverns' bottom level, dropping 366 feet below earth and highlighting attractions including the Natural Entrance, the Rimstone Dams, and the Ghost Room. A Wild Cave Tour also gives you access to less developed areas of the tunnels on all three levels.
