About this park
Rickwood Caverns State Park in Warrior opens the door to an underground world of limestone formations that are about 260 million years old. Stalactites, stalagmites and flowstone create a quiet and otherworldly landscape beneath the surface. Guided cave tours lead visitors through the chambers and explain how the caverns formed over time. Above ground, the park has a swimming pool, a campground and picnic areas, making it a fun destination for families. Park entry is free, but cavern tour tickets are required and can be found at alapark.com. Cave temperatures stay cool all year, so bring a light jacket and wear comfortable shoes.
