A beautiful trail system links the caves, formations, and overlooks while providing an exciting hiking experience. Many areas on these trails have seen new construction, making the journey to the caves safer and easier. The park has beauty all its own each season of the year. Spring wildflowers give way to the lush green growth of summer. Fall brings dramatic hues of yellow, gold and crimson.
Snow transforms the park into a winter wonderland.
Whatever the season, Maquoketa Caves has something special to offer. The former Sager's Museum building has been converted into the park's visitor center. This facility will be open on the weekends during the summer and by special arrangement with the park manager. Nearby Towns Maquoketa is six miles southeast of the park.
