Ohio Caverns

Ohio History

Hidden Beauty

Ohio does not boast many amazing natural wonders: no powerful waterfalls, colorful canyons, snowcapped mountains, or scenery. However, there's more under the surface than meets the eye. In the photo above, what appears to be all-too-common sedimentary rock layers conceals one of the most intricate and unique natural features in Ohio. Behind and below that rocky wall, several miles of winding tunnels create elaborate underground caverns. Besides colorful rock formations, these caves are home to hundreds of snow-white crystal columns, ranging from 2" to 4' in length.

So let's head for that tunnel door and explore the Ohio Caverns!
