Blanchard Springs Caverns
A National Forest Service-operated show cave system at 704 Blanchard Springs Rd in Fifty-Six, AR, located 2 miles off AR-14 and just north of Mountain View. The caverns offer two guided tour routes through large flowstone rooms with active formations. Discovered in 1963 and opened to the public in the 1970s, they are consistently rated among the top cave systems in the South. The adjacent recreation area includes a swimming hole fed by the spring's outflow, a campground, and forest hiking trails — making it a full half-day stop for riders on the Push Mountain Road / AR-14 loop.
Natural anchor stop on the Push Mountain Road / AR-14 loop. Cool cave temps (58°F year-round) make this a genuine mid-summer relief stop; the spring-fed swimming hole is a bonus. Park the bike and spend a couple hours underground before continuing the twisties into Mountain View.
