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. Red-Winged Blackbirds, ducks, dragonflies, and turtles have made the wetland their home. As you take a short hike around the wetland, you can watch cattails and native hibiscus dance in the wind. Walk out on the deck and listen as frogs leap into the water! The City of Bowling Green and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet collaborated with the Friends of Lost River to construct this water treatment facility. Stormwater from the 31-W roadway settles in the retention basin before it is released into the Wetland. The naturally purified stormwater then flows into the underlying cave system. This also allows for the catch of all trash and spills that threaten to damage the fragile cave ecosystem and waterways. 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.
