Southern Byways

American Cave Museum & Hidden River Cave

by SP on October 17th, 2006

Hidden River CaveNot everyone is up for squeezing into tight spaces 150 feet below the surface, but for those who are, a day at Hidden River Cave in Kentucky is the place for you. Strap on your minor’s helmet and climb your way through a dark, undiscovered world, it begs the question, who needs the sun?

The Hidden River Cave Adventure Tour takes you on a mile long trip into the earth to explore an underground stream, discover unique cave animals and trek through Hidden River Cave. Experience caving like never before as professional, well-trained guides take you 150′ underground and off the beaten path and through the dark, mysterious labyrinth of Hidden River Cave.

Designed to introduce participants to the natural cave environment, Adventure Tours provide a firsthand look at cave ecology and karst hydrology. Before each expedition, participants learn about cave safety and conservation and discuss environmental issues relating to the story of Hidden River Cave. The tour features an underground stream, dome rooms, narrow passageways, cave formations, cave adapted animals (including crayfish and cave fish) and historical artifacts.

A crawl along the river’s edge provides a unique opportunity to view aquatic cave wildlife in their natural environment. As you navigate the rocky terrain, trickling water reveals underground falls.
