Kickapoo Cavern State Park Details
Explore the deep, dark depths of mysterious caves when you visit this state park. There are 20 different caves on-site, although only two of them are large enough to visit - Kickapoo Cavern and Stuart Bat Cave. Keep in mind that reservations are required in order to enter the caves. It's one of the newer state parks in Texas, having only opened to the public in 1991. The land was previously owned by a man named Tommy Seargeant, who sold it to the state so it could be developed as a public park. You can also walk the Seargeant Memorial trail, which is named after him. In addition to cave viewing, you can also trek one of the many trails that lead around the park. Along the way, you'll likely encounter different species of birds (over 240 are said to live in the park), as well as deer, foxes, squirrels, porcupines, and lizards. Entrance Fees - Adult : $3 Daily - Child 12 Years and Under: Free Reservations are available [online] (https://texasstateparks.reserveamerica.com/kickapoo-cavern-state-park/r/facilityDetails.do?contractCode=TX&parkId=1200023&_ga=2.4026549.447085507.1618845916-917412064.1616861417) or by calling (512) 389-8900
