This was a great park. Very clean well maintained. We were driving from Kentucky, Took the ferry across which dropped us at the end of the road for the park. Stopped in the restaurant to have lunch which was very good and reasonably priced. We ended up staying in one of the cabins which is across from the restaurant. We only stayed the one night so this was perfect as we had each meal there for the one full day. The staff was very nice and attentive. The food was like home-cooked meals

We rode the ferry over the Ohio river. While the ride was fun, there were dead carp everywhere. The entire day was stinky. However, it didn't dampen our spirits. The cave was awesome, the weather was great, the little trails were fun. We saw many young families enjoying the day, along with older couples, fun for everyone!

It was really disappointing how much graffiti was here honestly. Very nice place though. Also know as soon as you start getting close to the cave all you smell is dead fish. Seen some carp floating. There is a playground that is very nice for the kids has an older style, Merry-Go-Round. Kid friendly hike but lots of stairs but pretty short hike.

Worth stopping if your in the area. Amazing lore of the cave! A real pirate hideout, bar, among many other uses thru history. A great place to see the Ohio River as well.

What a really cool place to visit. It has a beautiful view of the river and the cave is really neat. Check out my pictures. Not a long walk. Free.

Very neat out of the way state park. Cave is accessible via various stairs or beach front areas. Cave was easy to enter and walk back into. Beautiful area to take photos.

Been here several times as an kid, and now I'm bringing my kids here. Def alot of cool history associated with this park. Park is clean and great to stop in have lunch at the picnic tables and take an tour of the cave and surrounding areas. And always gotta ride the ferry back across to finish it off.

Cave-In-Rock State Park is a beautiful park. The restaurant there is delightful. It is an all around great experience. The hike to the cave is easy and short. Picnic Pavillions and bathrooms are nice. Playground equipment is nice as well.
