Cob Cave is a natural bluff shelter on the Lost Valley Trail in the Upper District of Buffalo National River. This bluff shelter is approximately 50 feet tall, 150 feet deep, and 260 feet long from end to end, and it was formed when a soft, soluble layer of rock was undercut by Clark Creek, leaving a harder upper rock layer as the shelter's "ceiling." Archeological surveys indicate that this shelter was used by Native Americans approximately 2,000 years ago. Artifacts like lithic tools, woven basketry, and small corn cobs (the shelter's namesake) were excavated by University of Arkansas archeologists in 1931.
