Harrison, AR 72669 - Searcy County

Hurricane River Cavern located in Searcy County, Arkansas with 189 +/- acres. Hurricane River Caverns was discovered around 1820, and became a show cave around 1932. In the late 1800's the property below the cave, was mined for zinc, up through World War 1. It was not a tunnel mine, but rather an open pit mine, where they kept going deeper, and deeper. Today, the zinc vein, lies beneath 20-30 feet of rubble. These caverns are extensive, and still have not been fully explored. Just in the past few years three new passageways have been discovered, and partially explored. There is an ancient underground aquifer, whose many branches, converge at the cave entrance, and became known as, the Hurricane Branch. In 1976, spelunkers discovered the near complete skeleton of a saber-toothed cat. These tiger-size animals went extinct 11,000 years ago. The wildlife on this recreational property consist of whitetail deer, bear, and turkey. The property is easily accessed with paved road frontage. Hurricane River Caverns is located between Harrison, and Marshall, Arkansas: a half hour either way; one hour from Eureka Springs, two and a half hours from Little Rock, and three hours from Hot Springs; and only one hour from Branson, Missouri.
