About Cathedral Caverns State Park
Marvel at Cathedral Caverns' massive 126-foot-wide entrance—a world record for commercial caves—and venture inside to encounter breathtaking formations including Goliath, one of the world's largest stalagmites at 45 feet tall. The cave maintains a comfortable 60-degree temperature year-round and features a diverse array of natural sculptures created by millennia of water flow, from frozen waterfalls to a stalagmite forest. This 493-acre state park combines guided cave exploration with outdoor adventures including hiking trails and gemstone mining, perfect for school groups, families, and nature enthusiasts. The park's proximity to other north Alabama attractions makes it an ideal base for a regional adventure.
