About

Kayak through the flooded remains of this abandoned limestone mine. The water stays about 50 degrees Fahrenheit year-round as does the cave overall. You can see fossils embedded in the walls and ceiling and living creatures too, mostly trout and bats.

The caves are equipped with LED lights that make this a glow-in-the-dark experience. Transparent kayak and paddleboards are available that allow you to see down into the water below.
