Welcome
Join us for a trip back in time to Bull Shoals Caverns, one of the world’s oldest limestone caverns in the Ozark mountain range. At 590 year around Bull Shoals Caverns, located in central northern Arkansas, are still alive and growing today.
Geologists tell us that the caverns were created approximately 350 million years ago. Streams flow throughout the cavern and a waterfall is located at the deepest part. Almost every known formation found in caverns throughout the United States is found in Bull Shoals Caverns. Among these are stalactites, stalagmites, drapolites, box work, columns, cave pearls, flow stone and many others. To name a few of the lifeforms that inhabit Bull Shoals Caverns there are salamanders, pipistrelle bats (very small), frogs and camel crickets.
Human dwelling was first documented starting 300 BC via Carbon Dating. It's been stated that Native Americans used this cave about 10,000 years ago. In 1958 the caverns were open to the public for tourism.
