Crystal River Cave is one of the oldest caves in Arkansas. It also is the foundation of my hometown, hence the name 'Cave City'. The cave also contains the towns main water supply which remains a constant 57 degrees. Crystal River Cave used to play a major role in the little town, and although we rely less on it today, it's still petty important.
Walking into the cave the first thing you feel is the cold air hit you. There are 5 rooms in cave all with slimy walls. In the cold water is a certain breed of fish that are sightless and eyeless. Like any other cave there are also bats which you can hear fluttering their wings but rarely see them come out except at night. The cave is not open to visitors anymore but there is a hotels and a house made out of rocks from the cave right next to it.
