Tobacco use is prohibited. All wild caves have some inherent dangers. Individuals must stay together as a group in the cave. Be alert for natural hazards such as loose rocks, irregular floors and snakes near the entrance. As an undeveloped cave, the National Park Service does not make any improvements inside.
Visitors enter at their own risk.
Any injury must be reported to the park rangers. Due to the difficult nature of a trip through Russell Cave, the trip is not recommended for small children or those not in good physical condition. Russell Cave National Monument charges no entrance fees. All that we ask is that you help us keep the area clean and free of litter. Also, be safe and use good judgment while visiting and enjoying the cave.
