The Glow Worms Are Back!

Did you know that right here in Tennessee, you can witness one of nature’s rarest light shows? Deep inside Hazard Cave, tiny glowing creatures light up the darkness like a starry sky.

These “glow worms” are actually the larvae of the fungus gnat Orfelia fultoni, the only bioluminescent fly species in North America 🌌

Join us for a short, easy hike, about a 1/2-mile round trip, to Hazard Cave, where you will get to see this incredible natural phenomenon up close. You must be on a ranger-led hike and reserve a spot to attend. It is a perfect adventure for families, nature lovers, and anyone looking for something truly unique.

Hikes are offered on weekends and select weekdays.
