Northwest Arkansas
The Ozark Plateau is located on a large limestone base laid down by early seas. Because limestone is very porous and easily dissolved by years of water action there are numerous caves. We traveled a few miles from Hobbs State Park Visitor’s center and War Eagle Mill to visit War Eagle Cavern. The Cavern is easy to find, just follow the signs.
This is a great cavern to visit with the family. The cave is easy to navigate and the guides do an excellent job of showing the cave and sharing local history. The tour is about an hour. When you finish the tour there are several hiking trails, a dock on Beaver Lake where you can feed the fish, a forest maze, and other activities that all the family can enjoy. While we spent about 2 hours at the Cavern there were enough activities to fill most of a day. There is a restaurant or if you pack your own picnic lunch there are picnic tables
There is a charge for the cave tour and the forest maze. I though it was very reasonable.
