SPOOK CAVE is nestled in and amongst the hills, valleys, prairies, caves & waterways of northeast Iowa's DRIFTLESS AREA.
Karst geology is found throughout the Driftless Area & is characterized by: caves and cave systems, disappearing streams,
blind valleys, underground streams, sinkholes, springs and coldwater streams. Disappearing streams occur where surface waters sinks down into the earth through fractured bedrock or a sinkhole, either joining an aquifer, or becoming an underground stream. Blind valleys are formed by disappearing streams and lack an outlet to any other stream. Sinkholes are the result of the collapse of the roof of a cave, and surface water can flow directly into them. Disappearing streams can re-emerge as large cold springs. Cold streams with cold springs as their sources are noted as superb trout habitat. You'll find all three trout species in our pristine northeast Iowa coldwater streams: Rainbow, Brown and . Spook Cave provides fun family entertainment every day 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. from May through October!
