Bull Shoals Caverns, located near Mountain Village 1890, is one of those special places in the Ozarks, a limestone cave formed 350 million years ago and still alive and growing today. With beautiful cliffs above meandering rivers such as the White and Buffalo, deep blue skies contrasted with masses of green timber, and wildlife moving constantly in the background, the Ozark Mountains are one of the oldest mountain ranges on earth. Standing atop an Ozark hill, you feel like you're on solid ground. Yet, in many of the most beautiful spots, you're probably standing right on the top of a ceiling -- the ceiling of a cave room carved eons ago.
A regional writer from the first half of the 20th century, newspaper editor Tom Shiras, suggests that to see some of the most wondrous Ozark sites, you have to "turn the mountain inside out or penetrate to the inside."
Join us now for a trip back in time to the
Ordovician period, 350 million years ago, when the caverns got their
start. Our E-tour will whet your appetite to visit in person and see the
real thing!
