Cave continuously discharges spring water through a wide and tall entrance. Discharge approx 300 gpm. Tours are available. Over 1 mile of total passage. Narrow crawls through the streambank and room after room. There is a plateau above the main entrance with several sinkhole that meet up with the cave. The cave has two main branches, with one branch being much harder to navigate. The cave has significant history, being used for many purposes throughout time, and being the site of an unfortunate caving accident that resulted in many deaths.
