Facilities
Fern Cave is not open to the public in order to protect the endangered bats which reside within. The remaining portion of the Refuge is open to the public, although its use is limited due to the rugged topography.
Even through the bats leave the cave nightly for food, the refuge recommends against viewing the emergence. The area around the cave entrances is steep and potential dangerous in the dark. Thus, the park closes around dusk.
Otherwise, there are opportunities for hiking, photography, and wildlife observation at the refuge.
