Lost River Cave is a 501c3 non-profit organization started by a passionate group of people who came together to save the cave. Our mission (and the park itself) has grown tremendously since we began in 1990 as has the need for funds to conserve and operate this amazing place. Events, like Cocktails & Trails, raise money to support nature education and the conservation of the 72-acre park where immersive experiences in nature happen. It takes all of us to provide the park free of charge, conserve and restore the incredible natural resources it contains, and connect kids and the community to nature through onsite education and opportunities. We are deeply grateful to everyone who helps make it happen and would be honored for you to join us.[/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”When and Where” tab_id=”1715117182072-91112533-4abe”][vc_column_text css=””] Friday, July 31, 2026 Lost River Cave 2818 Nashville Road Bowling Green, KY 42101 [/vc_column_text][/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Pricing and Ticket Info” tab_id=”1715117182313-7f6a87a0-f16b”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″] GENERAL ADMISSION TICKETS $75 .

Lost River Cave is a 501c3 non-profit organization started by a passionate group of people who came together to save the cave. Our mission (and the park itself) has grown tremendously since we began in 1990 as has the need for funds to conserve and operate this amazing place. Events, like Cocktails & Trails, raise money to support nature education and the conservation of the 72-acre park where immersive experiences in nature happen. It takes all of us to provide the park free of charge, conserve and restore the incredible natural resources it contains, and connect kids and the community to nature through onsite education and opportunities.
