BLANCHARD SPRINGS CAVERNS

Fifteen miles northwest of Mountain View, off State Hwy. 14

see website

The large, spectacular upper levels of this cave were discovered as recently as 1963. The Ozark National Forest thus began a carefully planned, ten-year project to develop Blanchard Springs Caverns for tourism, and the cave remains as one of the most sensitively developed caves in the country.

Two tours are available at Blanchard Springs. The Dripstone Trail explores the Coral Room and the Cathedral Room, offering some of the more breathtaking cave scenery you'll find anywhere. This is the less strenuous of the tours. It is wheelchair-accessible with a strong assistant. The Discovery Trail visits some of the Cathedral Room, passes by the cave's natural entrance and artifacts left by Native Americans some 1700 years ago, then descends to the river passage at the lowermost reaches of the cave.

The surrounding Sylamore District of the Ozark National Forest offers camping, hiking, fishing and sightseeing opportunities.
