Welcome!

Cedar Park - Texas Cave Capital

Cedar Park has a new attraction for visitors! The Texas Cave Conservancy has placed forty educational signs at the caves located in the Westside Preserve. Signs at each cave have information on endangered species...cave life, plants, and bats that make their home in the caves.

Visit the caves year-round during daylight hours to learn more about these interesting features!

The City of Cedar Park will obtain the management of the Discovery Well Cave Preserve in 2008. More information will be available at the next CAVE DAY, April 12, 2008.

The Texas Cave Conservancy has also obtained two other caves that will be open to visitors in 2008. The first, Avery Ranch Cave, is a small but highly decorated cave. The second, Dies Ranch Treasure Cave, will be used for CAVE DAY visitation in 2008. The cave will also be used for vertical training for both cavers and the Cedar Park Fire Department.

Westside CAVE DAY Saturday April 12, 2008

Cedar Park is home to some pretty unusual characters, but one of the most reclusive may be Ricky Rhadine.

That name doesn't ring a bell? Well, perhaps that's because Ricky is a bug, a cave beetle to be exact. In fact, Cedar Park is the only place you can find this rare cave beetle that was nicknamed Ricky by local cavers. It also goes by the scientific name, the Rhadine persephone beetle.
