LEWIS AND CLARK CAVERNS STATE PARK

Lewis and Clark Caverns State Park, named as a tribute to the expedition that took place on July 31, 1805 near Antelope Creek, is known mainly for its homonymous limestone caves. Spectacular caves of stalactites and stalagmites, rocky columns and choppers whose lighting reveals the finesse and complexity of mother nature's work. First opened to the visit in the 1900 s but not fully accessible, caves were beautifully landscaped. The park is open all year round, but guided tours of caves are only made from May 1 ^{to September 30. Facilities include campsites, hiking sites, two reception centers, interpretive panels and evening programs during the summer months.}
