About Blanchard Springs Caverns
Blanchard Springs Caverns is a three-level cave system in the Ozark-St. Francis National Forests, run by the Forest Service with Arkansas State Parks. It is a living cave, where stalactites, stalagmites, columns and flowstones are still changing. The Dripstone Tour follows a half-mile path through the upper level, and the longer Discovery Tour goes deeper underground. Tickets are bought ahead of time through Recreation.gov.
