Boone’s Cave Park

European influence dating back to the mid 1700s can be found at Boone’s Cave Park, making a ramble on the five miles of trail here all the more interesting. A re-creation of a cabin built in 1752 gives a sense of the challenging living conditions of the day, while disappearing ruins from the park’s early days offer a more mysterious glimpse into the park’s human past. As for natural history, 46 acres of the park are designated as a Natural Heritage Site and support wildflowers typically found farther west in the southern Appalachians.
