About Florida Caverns State Park

Tour cave passageways widened by 1930s CCC workers, then surface for trails, paddling, and a swimming area across 1,500 acres.

Marianna hides a cool underground world beneath its forests, and this park is built around guided trips into it. Above ground, hardwood floodplains and karst sinkholes stretch out for miles.

What you'll see and do - Take a ranger-guided cave tour through expansive rooms full of formations, where you can still spot chisel marks left by Civilian Conservation Corps crews in the 1930s. - Walk, bike, or ride horseback on roughly 7 miles of multi-use trails through hardwood forest and areas recovering from Hurricane Michael. - Boat or paddle the Chipola River and watch for local wildlife. - Cool off at the swimming area, spread out at picnic spots, or browse the visitor center museum.
