Maquoketa Caves State Park

Eastern Columbine Wildflowers are seen throughout Maquoketa Caves State Park located at 9688 Caves Rd., Maquoketa, Iowa.

Enormous bluffs tower throughout the park, and a six-mile trail system winds through geologic formations and forests brimming with natural beauty.

As one of the state’s earliest state parks, Maquoketa Caves has been a popular destination for picnickers and hikers since the 1860s.
