Cave of the Mounds® -National Natural Landmark-Blue Mounds

Cave of the Mounds formed over millions of years as acidic water from the surface leached into the ground. Once in the ground, this acidic water began eroding limestone deposits deep inside the earth. Over time, these unique erosion patterns lead to the formation of the cavern.
