Cave Mountain is a TVA owned wild area with a short 1 mile loop hike near Guntersville Dam.. It is a fantastic short walk with a unique swamp and a cave. It is a moderate hike with rocky paths and uneven footing.

Cave Mountain is located about 45 minutes south of Huntsville on Lake Guntersville.

We went after it had been raining to make sure the swamp was filled with water. It did make it very hot and muggy!

Parking/Trailhead

This is a well-marked parking lot and trailhead. There is plenty of parking and the trail is not heavily trafficked. 

Trail

The trail is uneven, constantly changing elevation, and rocky. The trails are well marked with white paint. 

Cave

The cave here is a short hike and is located right next to the swamp. We didn’t go in, so I’m not sure what is inside, but it looked cool!

Swamp

I wasn’t expecting a swamp, but I was extremely excited to find it! Its right next to the cave and easy to find. Finish the loop to get out.
