cave spring

It beautiful small town & beautiful park & restaurant is good & a lot of deaf people when something festival come up & christmas is beautiful decorate & quite & friendly people I loves.

The little town of Cave Spring, brimming with history and natural attractions, as well as several delicious restaurants, is a wonderful place to spend a day or two. Stop by the Welcome Center for an overview. The cave for which the town is named is open to visitors and is surrounded by a beautiful park, with wildflowers, a spring fed pond and creek. Rolater Park is home to several buildings on the National Historic Register and the town itself has many listings as well. If you visit during the summer months, be sure to go to the famous pool/lake, shaped like the state of Georgia. Still operating, Georgia School for the Deaf played a role in the Civil War that history enthusiasts should not miss. The Pinhoti Hiking Trail has several trailheads near Cave Spring and Cave Spring has been designated a point on the Trail of Tears. Stop to see a recently discovered Cherokee Cabin, formerly a hotel and plant nursery, that the town is in the process of restoring. If you'd like to spend more time in this little gem, there are bed and breakfasts and a small motel available to spend the night.

The Cave was wonderful and the ladies out front delightful. I did not bring jugs to take water home but saw many people doing this. The pond was filled with fish and ducks you can feed. There were several dozen people enjoying swimming in the Spring. We shopped at several of the stores in town. There was one store in particular I would not frequent again. It was the Cave Spring General Store. The store owner is a very nasty and bitter old man. He complained about people not buying anything and said he wasn't open for entertainment. None of his items had prices and it is one big jumbled mess. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this store. The other stores were pleasant and worthwhile.

Nice park with spring and cave to explore. You can spend an hour or the whole day at the park. Cave Spring is a cute historic town in west Georgia.

You'll probably never see another place like this, cause there ain't any. Basically, the way it works is, you approach the cave entrance, two ancient sentries will be sitting there on some folding chairs. They collect your buck, usually without speaking, and you walk on through. A few things to keep in mind: It's a cave. There are drips, mud, puddles, and very slippery rocks. It's cold. The water is cold, too. Perfect for kids, just like ol' Tommy Jefferson's cold foot bath. Cold water bathing lets you live longer, it's a fact. You might get a bit of water or dirt on your skinny jeans. Deal with it. They don't make em like this any more.

Not saying don't go just not the best cave I've ever been too. It's a small town and very proud of park/cave. Park surrounding is very impressive with a pool in shape of the state of GA! Apparently, popular picnic place in summer as saw signs for $3.00 table rentals. Wouldn't make a special trip but if close by, worth the stop.

This was a fun activity for the kids to do. It was really inexpensive and fun to walk in the caves ($1 I think?) and then we bought fish food for 50 cents a bag. There are HUNDREDS of trout in the icy cold water coming out of the spring. They had picnic table set up and really nice volunteers working the gift/snack shop and picking up around the park. The kids, however, had wanted to swim in the big spring fed pool - shaped like the state of Georgia - but it's REALLY cold and only the kids wanted to swim. The admission was pretty pricey so we didn't go in simply because the four adults didn't want to pay to watch the kids jump in and then jump right back out. Wish they could come up with a different admission somehow so that parents who want to go with their kids but not freeze their butts could go in but not swim

We live an hour away from Cave Spring's Rolater Park, but love to take our grandkids there for a picnic and wading in the creek. There is a cave there as well that we walk through - short & sweet, but just great for the little ones. It cost one dollar each for the cave. There are picnic tables next to the creek that can be rented for $3.00. It's close enough to sit at the table and watch the little ones wade around in the creek. There are plenty of shaded areas, and its neat to "be in the moment" & watch these Disney - TV - modern day jaded little kids love the old fashioned past time of creek wading and a summer picnic. It is SO much fun and they seem to enjoy it and of course what grandparent doesn't like being with their grands? Take an afternoon to relax by the creek. (It's fun to go with just the two of us to have a little romantic picnic!)

We decided to drive and hour and a half south on a Saturday morning to Cave Springs, GA. We had heard about the antique stores and the springs from several people, so feeling like going somewhere different this day, we decided to check things out for ourselves. The drive itself through Calhoun and Rome is nice and the drive over to Cave Springs is especially scenic. Once you cross a bridge and come to the one red light in town, you're there. It was lunch time upon our arrival and a friend had recommended a new place on the square, Linda Marie's. They are not on Trip Advisor yet or I would give them an awesome review. The restaurant is very nice inside and out. The food was exceptional and the wait staff were very excited about their grand opening which was on Thursday. We will definitely eat here again. The antique stores weren't filled with "junk" but were upscale antiques and unique items. We bought several things at two different stores. f you like fudge, you must try some at Blue Willow. The lady there makes her own and t is very good, and this is coming from someone who doesn't even like fudge! After perusing the shops we walked to the springs where it seemed everyone in town was enjoying the water. We had our dogs with us and walked them around the springs and even took them into the cave where it was cool on a 90 degree day. Our dogs are small so we carried two of them, until we saw some photo ops and sat them on a ledge for pictures. Be aware if you have a blond Chihuahua and set it on a ledge in a cave, it will get red GA clay on it's paws! Be careful if you have on a white shirt! We really enjoyed our Saturday in Cave Springs and will definitely visit there again. Next time we will go a little later so we can eat dinner at Linda Marie's (dinner starts at 4:00). We would even go in the cave again and we will surely visit the antique stores, especially The Peddler!

Just a nice tranquil little park to visit along a road trip. I came on a day when little kids were allowed to fish and it was a very neat experience.

Cave Springs, GA is a quaint town in northwest Ga. It has down home cooking resturants and delis for you to choose from. The School for the Deaf for GA is located there.

Enjoyed our time at the spring, shopping, and walking around the town. It's a cozy little place with history.

The park in Cave Spring is very nice and very well maintained. This is a beautiful old town with lots of pre-civil war houses and buildings. Just a really lovely place to visit.
