Maquoketa Caves Set to Fully Reopen April 15th
Iowa DNR announced that the park will be fully reopened tomorrow, April 15th, 2021.
The cave system in Maquoketa is the largest cave system in the state, and the park offers gorgeous scenery and unique geological formations.
Iowa DNR shared some tips for visiting after the reopening, because they're expecting some high traffic in the area:
Parking is limited. With less than 150 parking spots and as many as 1,500 people coming to the park on a summer weekend day, park staff recommend visiting mid-week or avoiding the peak window of 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. Parking will only be allowed in designated spots for the safety of visitors and to protect natural areas. If parking spots are not available, please come back at a later time.
