Cave-In-Rock

Cave-in-Rock is a small unincorporated community in Hardin County, Illinois, United States. It is located along the Ohio River, just south of the mouth of the Little Wabash River. The town is named for the prominent cave in the bluffs of the Ohio River. The cave was used as a shelter by river pirates in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The town is home to the Cave-in-Rock State Park, which offers camping, fishing, and other recreational activities. The town is also home to the Cave-in-Rock Ferry, which provides access to Kentucky across the Ohio River.

Neat little place to see, can be muddy at times. Great place for a picnic.

The cave is unlike anything we’ve seen before! So cool and the little hike along the river was very scenic. Definitely worth the stop.

This was such a beautiful little discovery. Me and my little family super enjoy nature and hikes and outdoors. This was so beautiful I highly recommend you stop and take a look if you are able. There are stairs to get to the cave but not took terrible.

This was a great park. Very clean well maintained. We were driving from Kentucky, Took the ferry across which dropped us at the end of the road for the park. Stopped in the restaurant to have lunch which was very good and reasonably priced. We ended up staying in one of the cabins which is across from the restaurant. We only stayed the one night so this was perfect as we had each meal there for the one full day. The staff was very nice and attentive. The food was like home-cooked meals
