Just a short distance up from the North Loop Trail is Cave Spring, where water drips down an algae-covered, limestone cliff in a large cave. This unique area is a fun place to explore and rest in the shade. Some of the water from Cave Spring also filters down into a large trough carved out of a single, large log, just off the main trail. This basin was used for livestock, but now provides water for many local wild animals.
