Kickapoo Cavern State Park
Visit a real bat cave (sorry, no Bruce Wayne) at this beautiful park.
This unique state park includes 20 known caves and around 18 miles of wilderness trails.
Two caves are large enough to be significant to visitors. Stuart Bat Cave is aptly named for its nightly bat flight. Hang around until sunset. That's when hundreds of bats exit the cave and fly into the darkness looking for food.
These harmless creatures are Mexican free-tailed bats. They live in the cave from mid-March until October before migrating south for the winter.
The other cave is Kickapoo Cavern. It travels 1,400 feet underground, and the cave has some awesome rock formations. Tours happen every Saturday at 1 pm, so long as at least five people reserve their spot. A tour takes from two to three hours. That leaves plenty of time to get to Stuart Bat Cave by sunset.

Sleep beneath the stars and to the soothing sounds of bats hunting insects via echolocation. Seriously, though, camping at Kickapoo Cavern is a great way to experience a wide array of wildlife and incredibly clear and starry night skies. There are only 20 campsites here, but the park isn’t usually crowded so these usually meet the park’s needs. Ea Read more...
