Site Description: Dunbar Cave is a 115-acre natural area in Montgomery County. Its main feature is a well-explored scenic and historic cave, which above ground is surrounded by an upland hardwood forest. A stream exits the cave and has been impounded to form a small lake that is inhabited by many fish, turtles, and other wildlife, known as Swan Lake. There are three trails on the natural area that range from a leisurely walk to a fairly strenuous hike. All trails begin and end at the visitors' center. Other park activities include fishing and picnic facilities.

Wildlife to Watch: The Park’s small lake - Swan Lake - attracts various migrating waterfowl during winter. Woodland birds may be found throughout the year in the hardwood forest. Along the trails Barred Owls can be spotted or heard most days and in the spring and fall migrating warblers can be abundant.
