Complete information about visiting Russell Cave National Monument is now available on National Park Planner!
Russell Cave National Monument is located in the northeast corner of Alabama, not far from the Tennessee/Alabama state line near the town of Bridgeport. Created in 1961, the monument preserves a cave shelter that was inhabited off and on for nearly 9000 years. Guests are welcome to visit the cave shelter where park Rangers are on duty to answer any questions. In addition to the cave, there is a Visitor Center with a small museum, a picnic area, and two hiking trails. As one of the less involving parks in the National Park system, visitors can be in and out of Russell Cave National Monument in one to three hours.
