The Best Conservation parks in Bella Vista, Arkansas

Bear Hollow Cave is located in Bella Vista, Arkansas and is a unique park and tourist attraction. It is one of only three caves in the world known to harbor the endangered cave crayfish. The cave is a karst solution tube with approximately 2,000 feet of passage, most of which is traversed by a cave stream, providing both aquatic and dry habitats. Owned by The Nature Conservancy, Bear Hollow Cave was donated by Pat and John Cooper, Jr., and Cooper Communities in 1998. The cave has been the focus of conservation efforts, including cleanups to remove garbage and hazardous materials from the area.
