Rickwood Caverns State Park is a state park located in Warrior, Alabama, just north of Birmingham.[1] Featuring 260 million-year-old limestone formations, blind cave fish, and an underground pool, Rickwood Caverns is a recognized member of the National Caves Association, and offers more than a mile of living geology.

Described as "mysterious and beautiful"[2], the caverns feature guided tours of the so-called "miracle mile" of active "living" formations, spring-fed pools, and other curiousities.[3] The park surrounding the caverns features an Olympic-sized swimming pool, picnic area with shelters, hiking trails, playground, campground, plus a snack bar and a gift shop.[4]
