Florida Caverns State Park is a state park of Florida in the United States, part of the Florida State Parks system. It is located in the Florida Panhandle near Marianna. It is the only Florida state park with air-filled caves accessible to the public.[1]
The limestone caves in the park have stalagmites, stalactites, and flowstones formed by the erosion of bedrock. Other formations are above ground, including rivers and springs.[1]
Florida Caverns State Park and the neighboring golf course were constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps as part of the New Deal. The park opened in 1942.[2]
