Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits
At Mossy Cave, slightly acidic groundwater seeps through the harder limestone layer, dissolving and eroding the softer layers underneath. This cool, moist, shaded environment is a perfect habitat for mosses to thrive. As temperatures drop, the dripping water freezes, creating impressive icicles that sometimes last into summer. Please do not enter the cave and help us protect this fragile environment.
