The last Indians here were the Cherokees but they were ordered out by Andrew Jackson in the 1800's. The site is bordered by Forty-Eight Creek, which is crystal clear cool water. Many species of fish can be seen from the banks. The temperature in the cave is a cool 58 degrees year round. The stream coming out of the cave is stocked with rainbow trout.
Entertainment is provided on special occasions by local musicians and drama groups.
Each day begins with a healthy breakfast. The daily exercise program starts with a warm-up and a walk. The length of your walk will depend on your ability and fitness. Your group leader will guide you through 2-12 miles of scenic beauty. Next is an aerobics class followed by lunch.
