Blanchard Springs Caverns, Show cave in Arkansas, United States.
The limestone cave system extends through multiple levels with chambers containing white stalactites, stalagmites, columns, and flowing underground streams.
The U.S. Forest Service opened this cave system to visitors in 1973 after extensive development of walkways and lighting systems.
The caverns host regular educational programs about geology, cave formation processes, and the native wildlife of the Ozark region.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 58 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year, requiring visitors to bring light jackets regardless of outdoor weather.
The cave features a natural underground river system that continues to shape new passages and formations through limestone dissolution.
