Wolf Cave Nature Preserve
About
Wolf Cave Nature Preserve is a 213-acre park in Indiana, about 3 miles from the town of Spencer. The state park agency manages the preserve, which sits on its own as a protected unit rather than inside a larger forest or park. For comfortable weather, aim for spring or fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Spencer show highs around 64°F in April and 67°F in October, with summer highs climbing into the mid-80s and winter lows near 20°F in January. Paddlers will find two creeks within easy driving distance: Rattlesnake Creek, about 6 miles away, and Richland Creek, about 10 miles out, both listed for canoeing.
