The campground, the Trail bridge to Big Spring, and the roads between the main park and Mystery Cave are best for color at this time. Red oaks will peak early this year. We expect the oak peak will occur in about a week. Tours are offered on Saturdays and Sundays through October 28. Cave tours are available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.
Many walnuts remain on the ground.
Reservations are recommended for weekend camping. In the summer, beat the heat with a visit below ground. Explore the world of Mystery Cave with its stalactites, stalagmites and underground pools. Park naturalists provide tours of the cave throughout the summer and on weekends in the spring and fall. The temperature stays at a constant 48 degrees Fahrenheit.
