42 miles away. This is a great place to hike, have a meal, relax and enjoy nature. As featured in Midwest Magazine, beautiful Spring Mill State Park abounds in endless opportunities for recreation. Naturalist activities, Cave tours, hiking, mountain biking and swimming anxiously await you. Don't forget the restored Pioneer Village that dates back to the early 1800's. Rest peacefully in our historic 73 room Inn with its warm and cozy country decor, yet modern day accommodations. Relax in the Inn's indoor/outdoor pool and enjoy our full service dining room, open year 'round. Don't miss the Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom Memorial, honoring America's second man in space. Spring Mill State Park offers a powerful illustration of the link between the natural and cultural worlds. The water flowing from several cave springs led to the founding of an industrial village in the early 1800s. Pioneer entrepreneurs took advantage of a constant water source that never froze, using it to power several gristmills, a wool mill, a saw mill, and a distillery. In turn, pioneer settlers shaped the landscape around the village, clearing land for agriculture and timber. The park today continues to illustrate how nature shapes us and how we shape our environment. A parcel of virgin timber sits in contrast to regenerated forest, a man-made lake struggles to survive against the in-flow of silt from cave-fed systems, and the native flora and fauna face challenges from man’s introduction of new species. Trip Advisor Visitors can explore this story in the park’s four interpretive facilities—the Pioneer Village, Nature Center, Grissom Memorial, and Twin Caves Boat Tour—and see it reflected on the landscape as they hike the trails. The interpretive staff also offers a wide variety of public programs, including an extensive special events schedule. Public programs are offered year-round. Program schedules. Caves Selected caves at Spring Mill State Park and Cave River Valley Natural Area are open for limited access for self-guided recreational groups.
