Then in the 1970's, they purchased the remaining portion of the land. In was declared the Blue Hole National Park on November 23, 1986. In 1988 funds were raised to construct a wall to prevent erosion around the concrete staircase and a trail way, and a visitor's center was opened on May 8, 1996. To avoid confusion with the Blue Hole (at sea), the parks name was changed in 2005 to Herman's Cave Blue Hole National Park.

The St. Herman Cave has unique geological features and can be found within 575 acres of forest.
