Cave of Legends
Many stories and legends surround Longhorn Cavern. But geology is what makes it truly unique. Explore the cavern for yourself, just 1.5 hours northwest of Austin.
Things to Do
Tour the cavern! Before or after your tour, hike one of our trails, picnic, or learn about the Civilian Conservation Corps and its work in Texas (see the exhibit in the original administration building). Entry to the park grounds is free; entry to the cavern is by paid guided tours. Go to VisitLonghornCavern.com for tour information.
Shop at our gift shop; we sell souvenirs and snacks.
Visit nearby Inks Lake State Park, which offers camping and outdoor fun.

Civilian Conservation Corps
The CCC cleared the cavern of debris, and built the facilities of this park and the scenic byway accessing it in the 1930s. To learn more about the CCC’s work here, stop by the original administration building and check the links below:
