This park is beautiful. Hiking trails are fun. The wildlife are abundant. Plenty of seating nearthe mouth of the cave which is really nice during the summer when it gets unGodly hot. There is a small museum here that features different displays. The staff are always friendly. But it's got one major obstacle. It's not handicap friendly at all. If they could fix that, it would be 100%.
If you are looking for a good trail run or walk in clarksville, Dunbar Cave is a great choice. There are two trails you can choose from and it is quick to get there from almost anywhere in town.
Dunbar cave has a couple of nice hiking trails and the scenery is really nice. The entrance to the cave is really neat, and there is some history there. The little museum was closed while we were there, but I am looking forward to a return trip to hike and go thru the museum.
Dunbar cave is a state natural area in my hometown of Clarksville,TN.When I was a young lad we used to go swimming at the public pool there.I also went on my first cave spelunk there.You can also fish in the small Swan Lake(yes,there are swans there).You can hike the miles of trails surrounding the cave.Grand Ole Opry star Roy Acuff bought the cave and used to have concerts and dances there at the mouth in the pre-a/c days.like most caves dunbar stays a pleasant temp all year.I did see where they closed the cave for a few months last year so the bats won't be disturbed as the population is under stress do to white nose.Native Americans had been visiting the cave since pre-historic times and petroglyphs were found just 10 years ago.dunbar cave is just a beautiful piece of serenity in the middle of the ever growing city ahat is Clarksville.
It was a great attraction for first timers to the area I would recommend this to other visitors. My kids who stay in the area enjoyed this attraction also
Lots of history here from reading the boards at the cave. Nice walking area. Lots of seating. Great place to fish.
This place reminded me of the writings of Mark Twain and the Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Not only was I looking for bats but also for Indian Joe. This is a neat place to see nature. Bring your camera because you will see a lot of picturesque scenery to snap. I recommend you check this out.
It is a pretty walk to the cave and I enjoyed reading how the area was used back in the 1800's and early 1900's. It is sad that the cave itself is cordoned off and the bats are gone. An interesting peek into a bygone era.
cool place to walk and relax. the park wasnt busy and offered places to sit down. it was a cool place just to visit.
It has some nice little hiking trails, the visitor center is nice.The pictures of what it looked like when they had music and dancing there are a nice touch
