Description

Fox River Caves are located at Fox River, hence the name. It is freely accessible and a popular stop for hikers on the Inland Pack Track which follows the river. The cave is comparably easy to visit and has fine speleothems. Hiking clothes and sturdy shoes are a good base for an exploration, we recommend also good lamps (two per person) and if possible a helmet.
