Clearwater Connection is an advanced 4.8 km cave journey beginning in the show-cave section of the Cave of the Winds before continuing into undeveloped chambers. The route crosses rugged boulder-strewn ground, with climbs, muddy slopes and repeated swims across an underground river; the 1.5 km river section is noted by the park as a highlight. The park says hazardous areas have fixed ropes and guides carry personal ropes to assist on climbing sections. It lists a 6–8 hour completion time.
