Cave Springs Cave is a long "solution channel" formed by a groundwater fed stream. The stream is considered to be an outstanding example of an Ozark Mountains cave stream and hosts the largest known population of the rare Ozark cavefish. It has also harbored a summer maternity colony of gray bats. Rare plant species also occur on site including the Ozark trillium.
