"Be warned that 1.5 miles is a rougher gravel road. It's not very wide and should be taken with caution.I thought this was a pretty cool spot to break up my drive. I didn't hike this area, just went down the stairs to the well. Kinda creepy in a cool way."

"Easy short walk here from parking lot. Very pretty. It's cool looking down into the cave whenever you're standing under the waterfall. Be aware there's no service here. This is down a gravel road that has quite a few large pot holes."

"This is a pretty cool place to visit. Honestly, it's kind of spooky to see once you've walked down the steps. What I really enjoyed, though, is the 4.6-mile hike to cave springs from there. That's definitely worth the hike to see unless you plan to kayak there from aker springs instead. I've posted pictures of both"

"A very well kept trail that is good for hiking, birdwatching, and other nature enjoyment. There is a nice weekend pond near the parking lot with lots of butterflies, dragonflies, and frogs that are good opportunities for photography. The actual cave window is interesting and has very nice access and native plants."

"Interesting spot to see and learn about. Lots of stairs to climb. Caution: the road from the blacktop leading down to the site is very rugged terrain. There isn't cell phone service that I could tell. On the positive side, there are several picnic tables and grills to use if you choose to picnic while you are there. No plumbing but there is an outhouse for toileting needs. There is a narrow hiking trail with a spectacular view ahead, but you'll need to allow up to 3 1/2 to 4 hours for round trip. Overall this attraction is something entertaining to see and it's perfect for a day trip not too far from town."
