Cathedral Caverns State Park is a 493-acre (200 ha) public recreation area and natural history preserve in Kennamer Cove, Alabama, located approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) northeast of Grant and 7 miles (11 km) southeast of Woodville in Marshall County.
[1] Cathedral Caverns is a karst cave with a large stalagmite forest covering approximately 3 acres (1.2 ha).
[4] The cave system laid claim to many world records in its commercial heyday though their accuracy has been disputed.
During the Civil War, the Kennamer family lived in the cave for an extended period of time after their farmhouse was burned down by Union soldiers.
[7] The park offers cave tours, gem mining, and facilities for picnicking as well as improved, primitive, and backcountry camping sites.
