State Park: Bike, Birding, Caving, Hike, Picnic, RV, Walk
Interesting features of the park include 15 known caves, two of which are large enough to be significant. Kickapoo Cavern is approximately one-quarter mile in length (1400′). It boasts some impressive formations and can be toured by special arrangement. Stuart Bat Cave (formally Green Cave), slightly shorter than Kickapoo at 1068′, serves as a migratory stopover for large numbers of Brazilian Freetail Bats from mid-March to about the end of October. Bat flights are often spectacular, and observations are available on the same basis as Kickapoo Cavern tours. Birding opportunities abound in this area
