Missouri Cave's Association Meeting Held at Thunder Mountain Park Event Center!

We were busy at Thunder Mountain Park this past week at our new event center at the Lake of the Ozarks! On Wednesday, April 10, we the started the morning with our Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting for Thunder Mountain Park Event Center and then proceeded into the afternoon by hosting a meeting for the Missouri Cave's Association! Our new mountaintop venue was a hit among both groups who utilized our facility and we cannot wait to show even more people the new event center located on our property! Read on to learn more about Missouri Cave's Association and the event center!


Missouri Cave's Association 

There are over 6,000 caves located in the state of Missouri alone. Out of this 6,000 caves, 22 of the Caves and Caverns are members of The Missouri Caves Association. The purpose of the association is to promote interest, goodwill cooperation and courtesy among the owners and operators of these commercial caves. All the members in Missouri work to promote a greater public interest in the caves in this area. They work together to deal with business matters that concern all in the area of promoting and publicizing the Missouri cave industry. The 22 members represent a wide variety of Caves and Caverns and the attractions located within each. While a great deal of the issues dealt with by The Missouri Caves Association is not seen by the general public, the members all share a common goal. It is the desire of the MCA to promote the conservation and preservation of Missouri caves both commercial and wild and to protect visitors or guests in the use and enjoyment of these natural phenomena.

Explore Thunder Mountain Park

The most scenic cave tour in Missouri is surrounded by the natural beauty of Thunder Mountain Park .  This incredible Lake of the Ozarks attraction  covers hundreds of acres.  It spreads over more than a mile of Lake of the Ozraks shoreline, a mile of highway frontage along Old Missouri Route 5, and all the acreage in between.  That is a lot of nature to be explored! Establishing the park Thunder Mountain Park was established in 1950 in order to protect the caves within it.  The amazing colors and incredible onyx formations inside of Bridal Cave  are all formed by minerals from rain water that seeps into the ground. This is a process called deposition.  Preserving the natural state of the park above the cave prevents any changes to the surface area, which could have a detrimental impact on the deposition process.  Protecting the surface area protects the water quality, which in turn protects the cave.     Aerial view of Thunde...

The History of Bridal Cave

Image
Bridal Cave has a very interesting past.  It's story goes back long before the Lake of the Ozarks was created.  As early as 8,000 BC, Native Americans were using caves in the area for shelter, and more than likely Bridal Cave was one of those used.  We will begin this tale with the first organized exploration over 150 years ago of what is now known as one the best attractions at the Lake of the Ozarks . Bridal Cave Visitors Center, 1968 1856   The first organized exploration of portions of Bridal Cave is recorded.  B.D. Dodson is credited with this feat.  The next major exploration is done by S.W. Burke four years later.   1894 Over 5400 acres of land is purchased by Colonel R.G. Scott.  That area is now known as Ha Ha Tonka State Park, and it includes Bridal Cave.  Colonel Scott is very impressed and wants to know how it got the name Bridal Cave, so he begins researching the subject.  He is credited for bein...
