Confidence
The cave tour is closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. Trails are still accessible 7 days a week from 8 am-5 pm. The trail is accessible even if the cave is closed.
Path Type
Point to Point
Once through/beyond the Tunnel Cave, the Bluff Trail begins. Note that the trail is accessible if the cave is closed. The trail is only 3/4-mile in length but can be rugged with elevation changes and loose terrain in places. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful and unique Florida trail.
One will pass several (fenced) cave entrances as you pass crevice-filled, twenty-foot limestone karst bluffs above the Chipola River floodplain. The trail is framed by magnificent hardwoods and vertical bluffs above the floodplain, which descends to swampland where Tupelo Gums stand firm in the wet soils.
A cross trail (Shortcut Trail) leads back to the parking lot if one wishes to avoid the Tunnel Cave.
