The SCCi is excited to announce our newest lease acquisition, the Jacobs Mountain Preserve. Located in Jackson County, Alabama, Jacobs Mountain features 65 known caves that have been closed for many years. Eighteen of the caves are considered significant, including Paint Rock River Cave, Guess Cave, Norsemans Well, Torode Pit, Williams Saltpeter Cave, Halley's Hole and many, many more. See below for a list of all of the caves on the preserve.

SCCi members may receive a permit to visit the property at any time except 2 weeks prior to and during deer gun hunting season. If you're not a member of the SCCi, membership in the SCCi is available for as little as $25 per year for a regular membership, or $10 per month for sustaining membership.
