[2] It consists of a 3-acre (1.2 ha) parcel of land at the edge of Barbara Barnhart VanPeenen Memorial Park in the northern portion of the city of Decorah, in Winnesheik County, Iowa.

In the late 1990s, the Department of Natural Resources Geological Survey Bureau required a permanent barrier be installed due to some rock movement.

Since then, a large rock has fallen and visitors are now only able to comfortably walk into the cave about 10 feet from the entrance.

Ice begins to form in January or February near the entrance and continues down to the lower levels.
