Beautiful nature what can I say. I was just sad that the cave itself was closed because of the sick bats that I hope they get better soon so I can visit again and take awesome cave pictures.

Probably my favorite hiking place in SE Iowa. The stream is great for wading, and the nature center is informative.

Beautiful park!! Cant wait to go back in the summer when all the trees are in full bloom!!

This place is awesome. They have 3 caves for you to explore. 1 has been closed since 2010 but the other 2 are great. One is more of an overhang and one is a small cave. There is a bit of climbing involved to get to them both.

We love the cave, although I wish you could get to it like we used to. Easy hiking trails for the kids.

It was a good place I wish the river was cleaner

Absolutely spectacular! Amazing views and the river is fun to play in!

Nice trails for both hiking and cycling. Trails are designed for those looking for a short loop or a longer hike.

Nice walking area, paths are paved and bridge is a nice viewing area of the water. Water was high still so not quite as pretty as usual. Great wading area in summer. We saw three deer and enjoyed the walk.

Great place to take our girl scout troop

Great place to hike, the have an upper and lower trail, if the creeks low you can cross on the rocks to get to both sides.

This is a beautiful and moderately hilly place to run, especially after the Flint River Trail extension (minus to 2 flimsy small foot-bridges near HWY 61) and it is a nice place to take nature photos. The place is mostly litter/weed baggie free and the water running through the creek is quite clear except after periods of heavy rainfall. This place is especially pleasant during fall when the leaves change.The wildlife I have seen here would include grey squirrels, chipmunks, many small birds, birds of prey, herons, turkeys, owls, whitetail deer, and American soft shell turtles.Something I have a major problem with is the No Weapons Sign (Feels Good, Does Pretty Much Nothing). Why a govt owned park has the option to discriminate against lawful citizens carrying defensive weapons is BS to me. Whoever decided that rule should be in place at Starrs Cave has a childs level of understanding of violent criminals.

Beautiful! Would love to be able to go inside the cave someday.

Bathrooms smell all the way down by the water.

Perfect hiking, definitely wore us all out

Absolutely stunning trails and scenery!

This is a super nice and well maintained trail

We always have a blast playing in the creek and hiking to the caves.

Trails are poorly marked for some of the points of interest.

Its gorgeous but wear good water shoes!

Starrs Cave is a peaceful retreat in the Burlington area. Nice paved hiking trails and all sorts of wildflowers. It is a special cave that has been closed to help the resident bat population. The nature center is geared to families with children. A beautiful blurred stream/creek that you can exlore.

I got lost but had fun

I just visited this place today for the first time and i think its amazing.A great place for all ages.

Always a good time

Beautiful place to walk some trails and watch the creek flow!!

Nice area, though some issues with invasive plants in the areas near the roadway.

Ive known this place for 60 years. It has changed a lot. But continues to be an interesting place

If you like nature or learning about nature this is a quite lovely out of the way place to do it.

For this area, this ranks pretty far up there. A new trail just opened up. The trails are kept clean and cleared. There are one or two steep places if you want a nice cardio experience, but there’s a few flat paved trails close to the welcome center if you want a nice easy stroll. The bathrooms inside the center are super clean. Dogs on a leash are welcome!

We walked on the paved section from 61 up to the sand trail. Its still too wet, but the paved part was great. Itd be perfect for bikes, if youre content with a short ride.

Great peaceful place to walk with plenty of places to sit and enjoy nature. The creek is perfect for walking or soaking your feet

A beautiful place, very educational! Great for hiking and crosz county skiing

Great trails and creek

Ive loved this place since I was a kid. Now my kids love it too. Great time for family fun

Great for kids to grandparents. Had a great day getting next to nature

Beautiful place no matter what time of year you visit.

Rented cross country skies for the afternoon. Took the trails behind the nature center first the tried the golf course. The golf course would have been a great place to ski if there were any trails already blazed. There is one now.

Great place to hike

Imaginative child oriented exhibit about woodland creatures. Very little info about the caves the park is named for.

Starrs Cave is a great place for a family outing whether it be a trail hike, romping in the creek or what have you. My parents took me there as a kid and I take my kids there now.

I personally love the beauty of trees. They fascinate me. This day was one of the best, most relaxing and fun days I have had in a long time. Just driving in and out was wonderful.

A nice quiet place along Flint Creek. A good place to cool down you or your pets in the creek. Good hiking but sad that the cave has been closed.

Very peaceful

Nice place .But the caves are closed

My family and I have just found this place this past summer!! Its one of our favorite places to visit.. we love it!! Great place to visit all summer.so much to see. Love the creek!!

Nice trails and views.

Nice place to walk. I bet its beautiful in the spring & fall!

Great place for a small outdoor wedding

Beautiful limestone bluffs hang over the beautiful Flint Creek. Lovely hiking trails. Nature center staff is very friendly and informative. One of my favorite places to hike and feel at home w/nature!

Great trails. Concrete and some non concrete. And a very peaceful stream that runs through it

Went to a baby shower there! Loved the owls!!

Love this place. My little guy loves it to

Is a fun way to get some exercise and cool off by walking the crick on a hot summer day

Good we might come back

Hometown beauty. Its not the largest park in the state but the upkept trails and large sheer bluffs are gorgeous, especially for iowa. Great place for an afternoon walk by yourself, with the family, or maybe a romantic quiet stroll with a special someone.The cave is closed and may remain closed indefinitely in order to preserve the native bat habitat which is susceptible to white nose disease.Still starrs cave park is a lovely place to spend an afternoon.

Very nice hiking

Good place for groups and kids

Kids love it. Its more fun when creek is loaded

If you like hiking and nature, stop here. The nature center is especially great for children.

Very nice trail (partially paved) with interesting factoids along the way. The cave is unfortunately closed due to a disease that affects bats.

Nice clean walks, saw geese, carp, a turtle. It was an amazing few hours.

Wonderful place to bring your family

Lots of fun for the whole family.

Great hiking trails! Definitely worth a visit.

Approximately 2 mile hiking trail is very nice!

Love hiking here.

A stunningly beautiful area. Must visit if in area.

Awesome the forest is BEAUTIFUL! THE GNATS SUCK THOUGH!

Beautiful park and well cared for! Worth the effort to find it!

Cool lil caves...Creek is sooo clean and felt like bath water...very well kept place and friendly staff...will Def return!

It was fun, but with it being a hot day the knats were out terribly along with the flies

It has scenic trails with some cool overlooks and a couple of rock rooms. Its too bad Starrs cave is closed off for WNS.

The landscape is beautiful. These are my favorite trails in town.

Family fun and informative

Great place for hikes and my kids love the little museum.

My time here was amazing.
