Ledge View Nature Center is a 105-acre park of prairie fields and scenic woods with two and a half miles of hiking trails. The park features a 60-foot observation tower, a dolostone quarry, Niagara ledges, arboretum, rain garden, butterfly garden and caves (accessible only on guided tours). There is no camping at Ledge View. These cave systems are natural holes in bedrock dolostone, a type of limestone. They were formed by groundwater and glacial melt water Their visiting-season temperature ranges from 42 to 60F. Their conditions depend on the weather outside-- if we get a lot of rain, the caves can be wet and muddy. These caves are continuously excavated by the Wisconsin Speleological Society, so things can change every year
Ledge View has two main cave systems Carolyn's Caverns and Montgomery Cave.
Carolyn's Caverns includes Mothers Cave, Bat Room, Dave's Sink, Kieth's Karst, and Wayne's World. Some of the more recent discoveries unearthed by The Wisconsin Speleological Society in Carolyn's Caverns are the connection of Wayne's World to the Bat Room, Wishing Well, Temptation Alley, Sliver Passage and Thunder Dome . Has seven crawl passages, drip formations, and glacial melt water features.
