  • Twin Caves<br /> <br /> This is from the top of the stairs leading down to the entry to the Twin Caves. I took all the cave shots with my little S90. I was too chicken to take my SLR on a cave boat tour. :)<br /> <br /> Boat tours are offered into Northern Twin cave located in Spring Mill State Park.

  • Twin Caves<br /> <br /> This is the group before us returning from the Twin Caves boat tour. This shows the north entry into Twin Caves. Evidently Twin Caves used to be one big cave until a sinkhole collapsed and opened it up into two separate caves (I think that's what the tour guide said anyway).<br /> <br /> Boat tours are offered into Northern Twin cave located in Spring Mill State Park.

  • Twin Caves<br /> <br /> This is a shot of the entry to the south cave of Twin Caves. The control for the man-made dam created by the CCC ( <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_Conservation_Corps">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_Conservation_Corps</a>) in the late 1930's or early 1940's can be seen. Without the dam the Twin Caves tour would be a walking tour, not a boat tour (again, I think that's what the tour guide said anyway).<br /> <br /> Boat tours are offered into Northern Twin cave located in Spring Mill State Park.
