Another (lesser known) lava tube cave. It is more remote. Accessible by UTV

From the Duck Creek Visitor Center, head east on Highway 14 for 1.5 miles. Turn left onto Mammoth Creek Road (there is a sign). Follow for about 2.7 miles, then turn right onto a small dirt road. There is a small sign that says Bowers Flat, so keep an eye out. Follow the road for 0.6 miles until you find a small parking area. There is a sign for Bowers Cave at the trailhead. There is a short walk to the mouth of the cave. Bower Cave is a bit smaller than Mammoth, but just as much fun. One thing our boys enjoyed was the ladder that allows entrance to the cave. There is a drop of about twelve feet to the floor of the cave, and a sturdy, but crooked ladder is the only way down. Once inside the cave, you’ll need light. This is because the entrance is very small and very little sunlight hits the cave floor. There are also several passages to explore that lead a good distance from the opening.Since Bower is more of a lava tube than a cave, it has a fairly high ceiling in most places and a nice round shape. The tube leads a short distance before turning back on itself until your back is to the entrance. From there, you can follow the tunnel for several hundred feet.The floor of the cave is rough and uneven, so keep the light focused down as you spelunk along. Further on the cave is very wet, so don’t wear shoes that you want to keep nice. There were many puddles and gummy mud is unavoidable if you wish to continue to the end of the cave. It was beautifully cool inside the cave, though. Bower Cave is home to seven different species of bats, so it is closed to protect them during the winter months from October to April. ***Bring flashlights. This cave has some dark sections.

Bower Cave is a little closer to Duck Creek, only about 5 miles away, but is the lesser-known of the two. Getting into this cave involves climbing down a ladder about twelve feet, so if you have kids make sure to send an adult down first. Because the entrance is so small, very little light gets into the cave. Make sure to bring a flashlight. The ground is often wet and muddy and is full of loose rocks, so always be careful when exploring this cave!
