Cave Boat Tour & Activities
The two-part tour is 45 minutes. For approximately the first 20 minutes, visitors will walk along the river with their guide, stopping at the Blue Hole and the cave entrance. Visitors will then board the boat and explore the inside of Lost River Cave for the remainder of the time. Boat tours typically run at the top of each hour. Other attractions at the park include about two miles of nature trails, a seasonal butterfly habitat, blue holes and gem mining. In 2012, Lost River Cave began two new activities specifically geared towards children exploring nature: the Kids' Discovery Cave Crawl and the Nature Trading Post. In the fall of 2012, Lost River Cave began building an outdoor classroom for kids to explore nature in new ways.

Famous quotes containing the words cave, boat, tour and/or activities:
“In such an armor he may rise and raid
The dark cave after midnight, unafraid....”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
“The utmost familiarity with dead streams, or with the ocean, would not prepare a man for this peculiar navigation; and the most skillful boatman anywhere else would here be obliged to take out his boat and carry round a hundred times, still with great risk, as well as delay, where the practiced batteau-man poles up with comparative ease and safety.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Left Washington, September 6, on a tour through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Virginia.... Absent nineteen days. Received every where heartily. The country is again one and united! I am very happy to be able to feel that the course taken has turned out so well.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.”
—Marta Zahaykevich, Ucranian born-U.S. psychitrist. “Critical Perspectives on Adult Women’s Development,” (1980)
