We found out today that there were no current caches at Rickwood
Cavern State Park. Thanks to Caverscott we were given the green
light to place this cache in the area...as we did today!
This is such an awesome area. It is hard to believe that there
are normally not too many people or action around! We thought by
placing a few caches, would be a postive move for the park in
helping to bring in new visitors / cachers to the park.
We have permission to place this cache and the needed permits
have been completed and approved by management.
The current cost to enter is only one buck! Cheap price to pay
to see such awesome nature and to be able to have the opportunity
to camp, swim in an olympic size pool, see nature, have a picnic
find an earthcache as well as a few other traditional caches while
visiting in such a great place.
Please exercise caution on the trails. There are many slippery,
uneven terrain as well as trip hazards along the way! Enjoy the
hunt!
The current park hours are from 8:00 A.M. to dusk, unless you
are staying overnight camping in the park.

Experience the thrill of Rickwood's miracle mile of underground
caverns! The 260 million-year-old limestone formations, blind cave
fish and underground pool are just a few of the natural wonders
exhibited in the colorful cavern. The park features an Olympic-size
swimming pool, snack bar, picnic area, large and small picnic
shelter, hiking trails, playground, campground and gift shop.
Rickwood Caverns is a recognized member of the National Caves
Association, and offers more than a mile of living geology. The
caverns themselves were water-formed during the Mississippian
period over 260 million years ago. Rickwood Caverns still contains
active "living formations," as mineral-laden water droplets build
colorful structures and flowstones. Rickwood Cave reveals that it
was carved from an ocean bed - shell fragments and fossils of
marine life are clearly visible along the cavern ceiling and walls.
Many curiosities are featured on guided tours of the "miracle mile"
at Rickwood Caverns State Park.
