On April 16, 2010, War Eagle Cave at Withrow Springs State Park at Huntsville closed temporarily to the public. [NOTE: This is the cave on the state park's War Eagle Trail. It is not the privately-owned War Eagle Cavern on Beaver Lake. All show caves in Arkansas and the surrounding region remain open to the public.] This park cave closure is necessary in an effort to protect this cave from the possibility of contamination from White-nose Syndrome, a fungus that has killed millions of hibernating bats in the New England and Mid-Atlantic states. The disease is transmitted bat to bat. White-nose Syndrome was first detected in February 2006 in Schoharie County, New York. It has now spread as far west as Tennessee, Kentucky, and Indiana.
