Volunteers Clean Up Flood-Damaged Caves
Posted on Tuesday, July 10, 2007 by davidvoy
A flood damaged state park is being repaired by a group of volunteers. Last week’s rainstorms flooded Maquoketa Caves State Park.
The Jackson County attraction is seven miles west of Maquoketa. Thousands of visitors tour the caves each summer. Now, a group of Americorps workers are cleaning up the mess.
Visitors can once again walk the trails, but some of the caves are still off limits.
The damage is worse than anyone expected. Debris now fills up the entire Dancehall Cave.
