Caves in Oregon
32 Caves Found Free Options Available
Oregon has two distinct cave zones: the volcanic lava tubes of the Cascades and the marble cavern of Oregon Caves National Monument in the Siskiyous. Lava River Cave near Bend is the longest uncollapsed lava tube in Oregon — over a mile of 42°F passage in the Deschutes National Forest, free to enter. Oregon Caves in the Siskiyous is one of very few marble solution caves in the US, with 44°F passages and guided tours through the Marble Halls of Oregon.
Every cave listed here is on public or accessible land. Always bring three light sources, water, and let someone know your plans before entering any undeveloped cave. Temperature inside: typically 50–62°F year-round. Explore all caves on the Trek4Free map →
