This trail is a little farther but it's my favorite. It's pretty easy, it follows the river and it's nice and shaded for hot summer months. Helen Hunt Falls is on the way and worth a look.

A little expensive but it's interesting. Other than the cave, they have things like a zipline and a scary looking catapult ride that throws you off the cliff. Also, I've heard they have a free laser show every night at 9pm.
