Cave-In-Rock State Park
Cave-In-Rock State Park in southern Illinois sits atop the high bluffs overlooking the scenic Ohio River. The heavily wooded park is named for the 55-foot-wide cave that was carved out of the limestone rock by water thousands of years ago. In the years prior to the Civil War, the cave also provided a base of operation for river pirates.

Beginning in the 1790s, Cave-in-Rock became a refuge stronghold for frontier outlaws, on the run from the law which included river pirates and highwaymen Samuel Mason and James Ford, tavern owner highwayman Isaiah L. Potts, serial killers/bandits the Harpe brothers, counterfeiters Philip Alston, Peter Alston, John Duff, Eson Bixby, and the Sturdivant Gang, and the post-American Civil War bandit, Logan Belt.In 1790, counterfeiters Philip Alston and John Duff (or John McElduff used the cave as some type of rendezvous, though details are scarce. Although folklore printed in 19th century histories failed to establish a prior connection between the two men, both had lived in the area of Natchez, Mississippi, at the start of the Revolutionary War.
Duff was living upriver a few miles, either at Battery Rock or across the Ohio River at what would become Caseyville, Kentucky, when in 1797 Samuel Mason moved his base of operations from Diamond Island and Red Banks to the cave and made it the home of river pirates. Two of Mason's brothers had been business partners of Duff in Kaskaskia, Illinois, in the 1780s. Mason created a combination tavern, gambling den, brothel, and criminal refuge. His men lured in gullible river travelers and then robbed and killed them.

Cave in Rock State Park Q & A:
1. How rugged in the Cave Trail? The cave trail is very easy but does require the use of stairs. This trail is not friendly for handicap patrons. If the river is flooded (Ohio River), you will not be able to access the cave as it is directly on the bank of the river.
2. Are there any other trails in Cave in Rock State Park? Besides the trail to the cave and along the bank of the river, there are two other established trails in the park that are considered moderately-difficult.
3. How can I learn more about Cave in Rock State Park in southern Illinois? Please see the official Illinois Department of Natural Resources website for Cave in Rock State Park at
