Ducking down steep stairs (there are rails on each side), with a group of about 15 other people and a knowledgeable guide (Thanks Diane!) made this cave a fun adventure. We went on the 10:30 first tour and it was perfect! It fills up fast because they can only take a limited group of people due to the stairs and platfroms, so I recomend the early tour. By the time we left, it was booked until 2:30 PM. Lots of things to see!

My friend & I entered at the logging museum & hiked in for 3.09 miles until we saw a vista. ( then turned back) The trail was well maintained & overall well marked. ( one of our better marked hikes, for sure) Except at marker 7, later, we wondered if we should have taken the right fork down to see San Antonio creek. It looked like the arrow was directing up the hill. It would have been nice for the markers to tell the distance to the next place of interest. We went over to the San Antonio outlook but did not see anything. We heard water. The first part .8 mile was paved. It was a great hike & we would highly recommend it. The trees & the chirping birds were awesome. We are looking forward to returning again.

We’ve been to Arnold many times and never knew about this hidden gem. We had a lovely time cooling off in this lake. Bring swim shoes we did find glass buried in the mud as we stepped in the water. A floating tube, or other floating device is fun to use here. Lots of shade, parking, and picnic tables.

The most adorable little country park I've ever been to. I love the creek that runs thru it. I like to watch the children play in the water during the summer months. What a great, free way to enjoy the days. There's a library right there which is so nice because you can get a book and relax under a shady tree , drink some wine and forget about stress for awhile.

Gold miners first explored Moaning Cavern in 1851, but Native Americans had revered the site for centuries because of the haunting, moaning sounds coming from the entrance. Today, visitors enter by descending a metal spiral staircase on our Spiral Tour. Or, make reservations for an exciting two-hour Expedition Tour. Above ground activities: gemstone mining, gold panning, ax throwing or free nature trail. School program available. Open 364 days a year, please see our website for details.
My kids and I really enjoyed this tour. The tour guide Shane was so informative and nice (even when my kids asked ~300 questions about the cavern). So many interesting facts on the caves history - amazing formations below and it was a fun trek down the 200 or so spiral steps. My kids still talking about it and want to go back again.
