So, the state park cave remains open even since WNS?

It's the only state cave open and because it makes the state money...
Billy wrote:A little clarification on the 'cave is open' situation. Spring Mill State Park has several caves on the property. The Donaldson-Bronson system (and through trip) was closed with state closures. They even dismantled a large boardwalk system leading up to a large (larger than a 'shelter-cave' type) exit for Donaldson. Other caves in the park are closed also. The only cave 'open' is the Twin Cave section that has the boat tours that you pay to go back into the cave on flat-bottomed jonboats.
I am not aware of anything yet. I suspect they will wait until either the next e- board meeting in Feb. ( Ithink) or the general meeting in March. I am sure they will need to appoint a patron and have the board agree on a management plan. Also they plan to work with park officials on access. With all that in mind I suspect it will take some time. I will be at the March meeting. If I hear anything sooner I will post on this forum.DeanWiseman wrote:Any word yet on how the cave will be managed regarding access?
