Dunbar Cave State Park, Natural cave system and archaeological site in Montgomery County, United States
The Dunbar Cave State Park encompasses 110 acres of protected land featuring a limestone cave system with underground streams and geological formations.
Archaeological discoveries indicate that indigenous peoples inhabited the cave system for over 8,000 years before European settlers arrived in Tennessee.
The cave entrance transformed into a performance venue in the early 1900s, hosting radio shows, square dances, and concerts for the local community.
Visitors can participate in guided cave tours from Wednesday through Sunday during July, with advance reservations required and personal flashlights necessary.
The cave maintains a constant temperature throughout the year and contains a cold water stream that supplies the adjacent 15-acre Swan Lake.
