Visitor Tips and News About Seneca Caverns - "Caviest Cave in the USA"
Reports and tips from RoadsideAmerica.com visitors and Roadside America mobile tipsters. Some tips may not be verified. Submit your own tip.
Although it has an underground river, this cave is a fault cave. This means it was formed along cracks or faults in the bedrock. Long narrow irregular passages and none of the cave formations typically seen in caverns. Several levels to Seneca Caverns...the number of them open on a given day is dependent on the height of the water table/underground river.
