About Graham Cave State Park

This Montgomery County park covers about 386 acres and centers on a large cave whose remains show human use roughly 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. Visitors can walk up to the cave mouth, where trail exhibits describe how early hunter-gatherers lived. The park also holds the Graham Cave Glades Natural Area, a stretch of sandstone and dolomite glades with many plant species. Hiking, a campground, picnic areas, and a boat ramp on the Loutre River are available, and fishing is popular there. The park sits beside Interstate 70, and the cave entrance can be seen from the highway when trees have no leaves.
