 April 10, 2021 Our last few days at Horse Cave KOA took us into town to visit the Hidden River Cave in downtown Horse Cave, Kentucky. This cave has two subterranean rivers flowing over one hundred feet below ground.

I had been there about 6 months after it opened in 2016 and was one of only a few people in the entire Ark. I have pictures inside with nobody in the halls. A lot different this time around.
