#2 of 6 in Nature in Sevier County

Cave Nature / Park

• ©

Tour Forbidden Caverns to see natural chimneys, rock towers, rare onyx dripstones, and grottos. A Native American princess once took refuge in the cave, which was used by local tribes as a shelter in the winter months because of its underground water source. This water source also made the cave an ideal spot for making moonshine illegally until the 1960s. On your tour, a knowledgeable spelunker will introduce you to the site's natural wonders. Bring a light sweater, as the cave's temperature stays cool all year long.

  The caverns were beautiful! This defiantly a must see!! The colorful lighting on the structures were awesome. Pictures don’t do it justice. The tour moved pretty fast though. We waited a while in the store for a group to form. Which ended up being a huge crowd so if you were in the back you couldn’t hear. The ground was easy to walk on and there weren’t many stairs but I would recommend wearing sneakers.
