Forbidden Caverns is more than just a natural wonder—it’s a journey into the past.

The natural stream provided fresh water, and the unique rock formations offered protection from the elements. In later years, the caverns served as a hideout for moonshiners during Prohibition, giving it a storied past that still fascinates visitors today.
