The approximately 18,000-acre park contains a number of known cave and karst features that have not been adequately explored, surveyed, or inventoried for their resource potential. In addition to the known karst features in the park, the area has excellent potential for new discoveries. The area consists of an upland plateau that is dissected by several steep-sided and relatively deep canyons that are covered with rather vicious vegetation. We do have the use of a cabin with limited bedding and amenities, so most folks will need to plan on camping. High clearance vehicles are needed for traveling the back roads in the park and several miles of strenuous hiking are required to reach some of the caves and karst features. The park has several miles of riverfront on the Devils River affording some excellent swimming opportunities. The trip will be November 8-9th, 2014. As this will be our second project trip to the park, the number of folks participating will be kept low until all logistical issues have been worked out. We anticipate that there will be a number of trips to the park over the next year or two. If you are interested in participating on the November trip, please email me and I’ll put you on the list. We’ll probably have more than enough volunteers so I’ll be keeping a backup list in case there are any cancellations. Please contact me if you have any questions. Hope to see you out there!
