About Rickwood Caverns State Park
Explore 260-million-year-old limestone formations created when these caverns sat beneath an ancient ocean on guided cave tours through Rickwood Caverns State Park. The approximately one-mile cave tour features 365 stairs descending 175 feet underground, where temperatures remain a constant 62 degrees year-round, offering relief from summer heat or winter cold. Beyond the cave, the park features hiking trails, an Olympic-sized swimming pool fed by cave water, gemstone mining, picnicking, and camping. Whether you're looking to cool off, discover geological wonders, or enjoy nature trails through fossil-rich terrain, this state park offers diverse outdoor experiences.
