Bluespring Caverns Park
SNAP YOUR NEXT SHOT INSIDE THE CAVE, WHILE YOU’RE GEMSTONE MINING OR, LIKE US, AT SITE OF THE LARGEST SINKHOLE IN INDIANA.
WHAT TO DO WHILE YOU’RE THERE: Take an underground boat tour through Bluespring Caverns and see Lawrence County beneath the surface. Visitors can go gemstone mining, take a walk along the Karst Area Nature Trail or get a little more adventurous with kayaking/group tours. A friendly reminder: Keep an eye on the weather. If the park receives too much rain, they have to shut down the cave tours due to flooding. Visitors can still take part in the above-ground activities.
Season will begin March 16, 2021.
