Explore the Maquoketa Caves

08/05/17

If you love exploring you'll love Maquoketa Caves State Park. There's a bunch of caves to explore. Some you have to crawl to enter but often they open up into larger rooms. My girlfriend and I camped at the campsite for a weekend. It was difficult to get a reservation so plan in advance if you plan to camp. Spots fill up fast. Depending upon how busy it is and how much time you spend exploring each cave you should be able to explore all of them in a day's time. We did it in a little over a half a day. Definitely worth the time to stop and explore the trails and the caves. One of Iowa's hidden gems!
