Goa Carlsbad memiliki tiga tingkat ke bawah, rata-rata 750,9 kaki (230.27 m) dam 1.320 kaki (400 m) di bawah permukaan tanah. Kawasan terdalam terdapat di kedalaman 1.565 kaki (480 m) di bawah permukaan.
Eksplorasi ekstensif pertama yang diadakan di Goa Carlsbad dilakukan oleh Jim White sekitar tahun 1910. Ia pula menjelajahi banyak ruangan dan memberikan nama-nama termasuk Big Room, New Mexico Room, King's Palace, Queen's Chamber, Papoose Room, dan Green Lake Room. Goa Carlsbad menjadi Monumen Nasional Amerika Serikat pada tahun 1923 dan dirancang kembali sebagai taman nasional pada tahun 1930. Jim White adalah penjaga pertama Goa Carlsbad.
Nama Kota Carlsbad dan kemudian Taman Nasional Goa Carlsbad seharusnya mengambil nama dari Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), Republik Ceko, yang dalam Bahasa Jerman berarti Charles' Baths.
In a previous article there were mentioned the National Parks of America that were promoted with huge posters under the Great Depression in the 1930s. It exists a lot of photographs that show how people enjoy these parks in the early 18th century. Hundreds of millions Americans enjoyed the 35 parks that existed back then, and here you can take a look at some of the vintage black and white photographs that were taken.
