There are a total of three different caves located atop a fairly large hill with a total of 500 feet of passage between them.

While the Cement Creek Campground is accessible via ATV, motorcycle, or bicycle, because of where the caves are located, visitors are only able to reach them by foot.

Cement Creek is a fairly popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts to set up camp, boasting a total of 13 first-come-first-served campsites. It's here that campers are known to enjoy fishing, hiking, and even spelunking on some of the larger rocks and cliffs.

However, the caves themselves take a little more exploring off the beaten path to come across, giving them the reputation of being "hidden."
