About River Styx Spring Trail
This trail drops through the woods to the Green River, where the cave's underground water flows out into daylight as a spring. Along the way, native wildflowers, ferns and bushes line the path, and steep hills make the climb back up the bluffs more demanding. Nearby Sunset Point and Dixon Cave are convenient to pair with the walk for a fuller outing along the river.
