Caverns

Spend your first day exploring Lost World Caverns. Discovered in 1942, these incredible caverns are 1.25 miles in length and reach a depth of 235 feet, which means endless opportunities to discover and explore. Here, visitors can choose between two different tours: the Cave Tour or the Wild Cave Tour. The Cave Tour is a self-guided tour and takes you on a half-mile walk through the caverns. Along the way, signs line the trail explaining the different formations you will see. The Wild Cave Tour is an adventurous, four-hour guided tour to the deepest, darkest corners of the cavern. Once you’re finished exploring, head into Lewisburg for some local eats brimming with small-town charm.

Located in the Potomac Highlands, Seneca Caverns is 4.5 million years old and is steeped in rich history. In fact, the caverns are located on a known Native American trading route through the Appalachian Mountains, which many tribes used – including the Seneca Indians who lived in the caverns! At Seneca Caverns, you can take a cave tour, which leads you along a well-lit pathway while your guide points to incredible formations and historical facts on your journey. Looking for a souvenir to remember this excursion? Gemstone mining is available at Seneca Caverns as well. While in the area, be sure to stop by and take a hike around Seneca Rocks, an iconic West Virginia landmark.

Spend the last day exploring Smoke Hole Caverns & Log Cabin Resort. Rich with history, these caverns were also once used by the Seneca Indians to smoke wild game and were used by settlers and immigrants to make corn whiskey. Guided tours are available and lead you along to view incredible stalactites, columns, draperies, helictites and more. Be sure to take time to explore the property that offers a variety of lodging options, gemstone mining, shopping and more.
