Fisher Cave Tour
Again this year you have an opportunity to tour a cave. This
cave is Fisher Cave. The naturalist at Meramec State park would
like to know how many people would be interested in this
opportunity. So if you are the least bit interested please let us
know BEFORE August 15 . Prices for
this would be half price. $3 for Adults, $2.50 for Teens, Kids 6-12
$2, & kids under 5 free. Currently 2 tours are being set up
with a maximum of 15 people each. So sign up early. There may be a
slight chance of setting another tour up, but as mentioned slight.
So if the tours are filled and you are still interested just let us
know.
Fisher Cave
Fisher Cave is not like Onondaga as in it is not as well
devoloped nor publicized. At Fisher they give you lights to carry.
There is a concrete path though. Also you need to be aware that it
takes approx. 90 mins. There are parts of the
cave that is as low as 50 inches where you will need to stoop and
as narrow as 15 inches in places. Fisher is not
accessible to strollers, walkers, or wheelchairs.
Matt and I have done this tour some years ago and it was well
worth it.

Still Interested In The Tour and It Is Full?
- Read On
As you can see the cave tours are full. We have finally heard
back from Meramec State Park. They cannot set up another tour.
However if you would still like to do the cave tour you can show
up a bit early at the cave, at either the 1 or 3 o'clock time and
pay full price for the tour. This is $6 for adults, $5 for 13-19,
$4 for 6-12. We can only reserve 15 spots at each time for our
group. The park however lets 30 people at a time tour the cave. The
openings are for other people that may be at the park that day and
would like to tour the cave.
The naturalist did mention that if for some reason no other
visitors at the park are wanting to tour the cave there could be
the possibility of getting the group rate along with the rest of
the group.
Swimming
Swimming is an option. The Meramec River is right next to the
shelter. If it is hot at this picnic like it was last year this is
an option to keep open. Swimming at the state park is allowed. The
park has no designated swimming areas, but people are allowed to
swim at their own risk throughout the park.
50/50 Drawing
There will be a 50/50 drawing.
