Review & FAQ:
Established in 1921, the Maquoketa Caves State Park holds the honor of being home to more caves than any other Iowa state park. The caves range from the spacious Dancehall Cave to narrow passages that can only be explored by crawling, and the park also boasts beautiful rock formations like a 50-foot natural bridge and a massive 17-ton balanced rock. Many of the caves and rock formations in the park are linked by a well-maintained trail system, and there is also an inviting trail that leads past prairie land and through an experimental oak forest.
