Donaldson Cave Closed for 2009 Season; Twin Cave Tours Remain Open
All caves and sinkholes on DNR properties except Twin Caves at Spring Mill are closed to provide protection from White-nosed syndrome, a fungus that is killing bats in large numbers in the Northeastern U.S. and is now spreading west. To learn more about WNS, visit www.dnr.IN.gov/batdisease. Thank you for cooperating with DNR in this effort.

Note: Privately-owned show caves such as Marengo Cave, Blue Springs Cavern and Squire Boone Cavern, remain open to the public for tours. These privately owned caves, which operate guided tours only, are taking precautions prior to and during tours to manage the potential for WNS spread.
