Fall Creek Falls State Park

Description: Camps Gulf Cave Expedition (10:00am)

Location: Fall Creek Falls State Park

Join Fall Creek Falls State Park Staff on an expedition in Camps Gulf Cave! This is considered an advanced tour as we will be going into the first chamber of the cave. This includes an approximate 200 feet of climbing up on rocky terrain. Participants must be comfortable with climbing in these smaller, more enclosed areas of the cave. We will meet at the Nature Center at 10:00am. A shuttle will be provided to the trail head where we will hike approximately .70 miles to the cave entrance. This hike includes a small section of steep incline.

This program will last approximately 4-5 hours. Participants must be 12 years of age or older. Remember to pack plenty of water and snacks (There will be designated times for snacks as food is not allowed inside the cave). All participants must READ and sign Clean caving guideline form/liability waiver.
