Sauta Cave National Wildlife Refuge - Facilities

Facilities

There are two entrances to the cave on a hillside in a refuge. Although access to the cave is generally not permitted, limited entry for scientific research is granted. The area offers opportunities for wildlife observation, hiking, and photography.

A top activity is the viewing of the bats emerging from the cave during the summer. For about an hour at dusk, approximately 250,000 bats leave the cave to search for food. A viewing platform has been constructed to facilitate the viewing of the bats.

Famous quotes containing the word facilities:

    I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
