The cave at Cave Hill - Louisville, Kentucky - Cave Entrances (Natural) on Waymarking.com

Surveyed in 1874 by Edmund Lee, the spring and cave entrance were above the creek which later formed the lake. The spring water remains at the same constant temperature year round and the cave was formed by the corrosive action of water for thousands of years. The cave is deep and can be explored in an upright position for a distance (see posted sign), but then then at the end it must be explored by crawling on your stomach. The very end of the cave is too narrow to explore.

There are seven passages running left and right of the main opening which are 15-20 deep and also too narrow to explore.

There is also a colony of bats which live in the cave and are susceptible to White Nose Syndrome. WNS is carried by humans, so please do not approach the cave.
