Review:

Blanchard Springs Caverns are a system of caves located within the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest and are the only public caves owned by the United States government outside of the jurisdiction of the National Park Service.

  • The caves are Arkansas’ largest by volume and second-longest by length, clocking in at a passage span of 8.1 miles.
  • The three-level cave system is located near Mountain View and is open to the public for guided tours along several tour routes, including the Dripstone Trail, which explores the caverns’ upper levels.
  • The Discovery Trail provides access to a 1.2-mile stretch of the caverns’ lower level, descending 366 feet below the ground and showcasing sights such as the Natural Entrance, the Rimstone Dams, and the Ghost Room.
  • A Wild Cave Tour also allows for access to less developed sites within the caverns on all three levels.
