The History & Geology

Bluespring is built around the Myst'ry River boat trip, calling it America's longest navigable underground river and making the ride, not a chamber-by-chamber walking tour, the core identity.

The boat tour lasts about one hour, covers roughly 1 1/4 miles on electric boats, and includes a 400-foot walking section to reach and exit the river.

Tours leave hourly or more often during the operating season, reservations are not available for standard visits, and wet weather or flooding can interrupt cave touring.
