Shawnee Cave

Shawnee Cave is located in Spring Mill State Park in the state of Indiana. Access to the cave is controlled by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

Shawnee Cave, also called Donaldson Cave and/or Donaldson-Bronson Cave consists of just over 8,000 feet of passage, which is actually the lower stream-portion of Twin caves, also located in Spring Mill State Park.

* Permits will not be issued on days when rain is expected, you at any time after the park closes.NOTE: There are 3 spots that during normal water level, you will be swimming at least 3 times!
