Guided Tours of Arkansas’ only Lakeside Cavern
The spectacular natural entrance of War Eagle Cavern sits in a boxed canyon on the edge of Beaver Lake.
The War Eagle Way: Why a Guide Makes All the Difference
Wandering a cave alone is just looking at rocks. Walking with a War Eagle guide is an adventure. On your 1-hour tour, your guide will:
- Uncover Hidden Secrets: Point out incredible formations, hidden fossils, and optical illusions you’d walk right past on your own.
- Share the Lore: Tell the wild, true stories of the cave’s history, from ancient inhabitants to modern-day discoveries.
- Keep it Interactive: Entertain the kids (and adults) with fun demonstrations—including the famous “total darkness” experience!
- Keep You Safe: Ensure a smooth, comfortable walk through the Ozark underground.
1 Hour Daily Cavern Tour
Friendly expert guides will lead visitors on the easy, wide open pathway along the edges of the stream that flows throughout the cavern. Because the best stories are hidden in the dark, we don’t just hand you a map and wish you luck. Our guides bring the cavern to life with history, humor, and hands-on fun. After the tour enjoy our pristine walking trails and scenic lake views as you make your way back to our gift shop. The cavern stays at a constant 58 degrees year-round, is stroller accessible, and pet friendly making it the perfect adventure for the entire family. The Last tour leaves one hour before closing.
