Dunbar Cave State Park is located 60 minutes northwest of Nashville and about one and a half miles northeast of downtown Clarksville in Montgomery County. Dunbar Cave, at over eight miles in length, is one of the largest caves in Montgomery County. In the roomy mouth of the cave, square dances, radio shows and big band era concerts were once held.
The 144-acre park is honeycombed by Dunbar Cave and numerous sinkholes. The cave has historical, natural, archaeological and geological significance. Excavations revealed that this cave has been used by man for thousands of years, drawn by its constant stream flow and natural air conditioning. These early inhabitants left drawings on the cave walls, perhaps as part of religious ceremonies.
Dunbar Cave has awesome guided tours, which everyone in the family will enjoy. Sometimes there are seasonal events, like music at dusk, lessons about dragonflies, butterflies, the wildlife surrounding the park, a super popular one has been their candlelight Yoga. This is also a great spot for family photos. They recently added a path you can walk out on and feed the ducks. We highly recommend checking this park out!!
