Dunbar Cave - A gem of its own.

So today we embark to a journey to Dunbar Cave Natural Park. A unique and beautiful sanctuary to admire and enjoy. A national landmark that has brought so many people together. From our own locals, visitors and many photographers like myself that love its pure nature. Where you can enjoy an early walk/run or take your camera and start shooting away.

From its beautiful fauna to its memorizing flora. Plus we can't forget the history that is felt there. Dunbar Cave is located in Clarksville, Montgomery County. It's situated on a 110 acre land and it has numerous sink holes, plus Dunbar Cave is over 8 miles in length is one of the largest cave in Montgomery County.

Thomas Dunbar and his family settled the land containing the cave in 1784. Dunbar thought that he had title to the land, but due to incorrect paperwork he was never actually the legal owner. The first known owner, Robert Nelson, claimed the land in 1792. Mr. Dunbar and his family were ejected from the land (Dunbar immediately purchased the land next to the cave property and lived there until his death in 1826). The cave retained Dunbar’s name as he was the first settler to live there. (Info pulled from http://tnstateparks.com)

I have been numerous time at Dunbar Cave. It's peaceful and I'm one with nature. I haven't been inside the cave but you can feel a cool breeze coming through the locked gates. They say it's a constant 58 degrees in the cave. The entrance of the cave was an amazing location for different activities, where bands played, food was sold and an enjoyment for everyone.

Now the park is being under construction to restore the lake. You can still enjoy the beauty of this place. From it's epic trails to it's serene views. If you do visit Dunbar Cave please remember not to litter, we need to keep these historical locations as beautiful as they are.
