Lost River Cave, Bowling Green, Kentucky, USA Lost River Cave is a 7 mile cave system. The river originates outside of the cave and flows into it. The cave contains one of the largest natural entrances in the Eastern U.S. Go book a 45 minute boat tour with a guided walk along the river’s edge to learn about the history of the cave and its surroundings. You will learn so much and get to see the blue hole(it was more green the day we went because all of the sediments coming up from the rain) after that you will arrive at the massive cave entrance where you board the boat. The cave is gorgeous and at the beginning to get in, you have to duck your head and sit pretty far down in the boat and dunk as to not hit your head before it opens up. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and such a joy. She made lots of jokes and answered all of our questions. We very much enjoyed learning about the history and fun facts of the cave. We also got to see two little bats hanging out in there plus I even got a drop on my head and my leg from the water dripping down which the guide said was a lucky kiss from the cave! The tour is fairly short but perfect for first timers to get an experience of what it's like being in a cave. The grounds are well kept with asphalt paths most of the way as well as a little park area for kids to play and alot of painted murals for fun photo ops. #familytravel #caves #boattour #kentucky #adventureawaits #exploremore #hikingwithkids
