Geocaching at Lost River Cave You must check in the Visitors Center before going caching. The Visitors Center is open seven days a week by 9:30am and trails close at dusk. There is no charge to explore the valley; Lost River Cave is a non-profit organization and donations are appreciated to maintain the trails. Trail Rules: • Please do not feed or touch wildlife. • Stay on defined trails. • Remember, the quieter you are the more wildlife you may see. • Be careful where you walk! There are roots, rocks, and natural stairs in the park. • Help us keep this park beautiful and clean by throwing away your trash in trashcans or recycle stations located around the park. • Binoculars are available for your use. Inquire at the Visitors Center. • Dogs are allowed on the park, they must be on a leash at all times and waste cleanup is required. • Please be courteous of other guests visiting the park. This cave and valley has seen its fair share of history and events, if you have not taken the tour to learn about the cave's past it is recommended or ask a park representative. The one event that lead up to the beautiful park of today was the creation of The Friends of Lost River in 1990, its sole purpose was to restore and protect this great community treasure. Clean up at the cave valley began in 1991 with the trails through the valley being laid or restored in 1992. The cave was reopened to limited tours in 1993 and the boat tour was initiated in 1998, being fully operational throughout 1999. In 2000, the cave and valley were opened for visitation on a daily basis and continues to welcome guests from all parts of the world today. In 2014, this property was purchased to extend the services of the park by becoming a Nature Center with exhibits, classroom and laboratory spaces, and additional trailheads and parking. Stay tuned and watch as this facility fulfills our dreams as it is renovated and expanded in the years to come. DANBG here, I am the owner of the caching in the cave caches. I'm not sure how many cachers take the time to read the description but if you are reading this and enjoy the caching in the cave series I would like you to please write The Lost River Cave and tell them about your experience. I am sure they would like to hear from you. http://www.lostrivercave.org/contact/ I would like "the cave" to know how much cachers appreciate the caching in the cave series and all the things "the cave" has done for the local caching community over the years. Also if you are on Face Book The Lost River Cave has a FB page and you can post your caching photos and relate your experience on the cave's FB page. I hope you enjoy your time at the park. Thank you.
