300-acre park is honeycombed with caves large and small. This un-Florida-like geological feature is the result of Florida’s limestone base bumping the tail end of the uplift that becomes the Appalachians. And while the caves here do not match Mammoth Cave or Carlsbad Caverns‚ they nonetheless have an impressive array of stalagmites‚ stalactites‚ columns‚ flowstones‚ and other formations created over thousands of years by the steady drip of water. One large cave may be visited on guided tours. The
