Secret Caverns
Howes Cave
Secret Caverns offers a guided, primitive cave exploration experience located 100 feet below ground via a 103-step descent. Visitors navigate tight cavern passageways featuring unique natural rock formations like 'The Beehive' and an Abraham Lincoln shadow silhouette, culminating at a striking 100-foot underground waterfall. Compared to nearby commercial caves, it provides a more rugged and less crowded underground tour lasting around 30 to 40 minutes.
Commenters consistently praise Secret Caverns as a beautiful, amazing, and cool attraction that is well worth visiting. Many recall fond, nostalgic memories of visiting the area, though some raise practical concerns regarding accessibility for those with mobility issues and the long travel distance from NYC.
