Return to The Melbourne Cave

The Melbourne Cave is located about 6 miles southwest of Melbourne near the area of Lone Star. It served as Melbourne's civil-defense shelter during the early days of nuclear uncertainty and a shed nearby still contains cans that once contained survival food and water. This living cave is filled with stunning formations including gigantic columns, beautiful stalactites and stalagmites, and lots of delicate crystalline structures. It is indeed a place of great awe-inspiring wonder, this virtually unknown cavern in the heart of Izard County!

Do you have directions? Does it stick out so it can be seen from the highway?

Yes and no respectively. It's on private property and the landowner prefers to keep its location secret.

Is there a cave at Guion?
