Located just east of Wairton it is the largest above ground cave in Ontario. Not to worry if you are claustrophobic or afraid of the dark because this cave is really just a giant sea cave that has been hollowed out in the side of the Niagara Escarpment. The cave is much visited but if you explore along the Escarpment - away from the parking lot, you will find many cool nooks and crannies.
