FUN Weekend at Bridal Cave - Fall Festival & Harbor Hop Dealer

Our Fall Festival at the Lake of the Ozarks is off to a great start and if you missed us last weekend, no worries because Thunder Mountain Fall Festival is open every weekend in October! Bridal Cave and Thunder Mountain Park is already gorgeous in the fall but when you add thousands of pumpkins, hundreds of mums, straw bails, and other fall decor throughout the park -- it's even more beautiful! Read on to find out what to expect this October when you visit our cave at the Lake of the Ozarks.


Beautiful Scenery

Bridal Cave is a well-known as one of America's most scenic cave tours. It remains a constant 60° inside the cave, and you will see room after room of incredible mineral deposits, giant columns, stalactites and stalagmites, massive draperies, and so much more all created over millions of years of formation.

Outside, in Thunder Mountain Park, you've got nature trails to explore and of course, that amazing lake view. Right now for the Thunder Mountain Fall Festival, we've also added all kinds of gorgeous fall decorations and so many pumpkins, you'd think we were a pumpkin patch! If you're looking for a fun way to spend a day this fall, it's time for a trip to visit us!


Thunder Mountain Fall Festival Activities 

Even though we didn't grow all of the pumpkins at our fall festival, we purchased all of the pumpkins and fall decor from local farmers! At Bridal Cave, supporting our local community is important to us and that's why we bought all of our decore locally!



When you visit us for the Fall Festival, we have everything but the pumpkin patch! Although, with all of the pumpkins laying around you might think you are at a pumpkin patch. Below are the fun activities you can enjoy in addition to the cave tour.

Explore Thunder Mountain Park

Image
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 Thunder Mountain before 1950 A unique, rural attra

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 being the first person to publish the now famous legend of Brida
