The caverns were formed over millions of years as water slowly dissolved the limestone, leaving behind the stunning formations we see today.
The caverns are home to a stalactite that measures over 28 feet long, one of the largest in the nation.
The caverns were first explored in 1942 by local residents who stumbled upon the entrance while searching for a lost dog.
Every year, the caverns attract spelunkers from around the world for a unique caving experience, offering both guided and self-guided tours.
The caverns provide a safe environment for several species of bats, which play a crucial role in the local ecosystem by controlling insect populations.
This stunning formation resembles a delicate bridal veil and is one of the most photographed features in the caverns.
