Cascade Caverns is just a few miles from the Cave without a Name.  It’s also privately owned and operated.  The Cascade Caverns is at the low point in a series of rolling hills, so every time it rains hard the caverns flood.  We visited a few years ago but couldn’t visit the Cascade Caverns because it had been raining and was flooded.

The owners built a dam and some retaining walls around the entrance to try and minimize the flooding, but water gets in from other cracks and openings.

The Cascade Caverns are similar in size and types of formations to the Cave without a Name.  One unique feature, however, is that at the lowest point on the tour there is a pond with a sinkhole to a lower cavern that is mostly underwater.  There is a tour down into the lower cavern but we didn’t take it (would have freaked me out totally with my claustrophobia and fear of water).

It was discovered when a farmer’s cow disappeared.  People were helping to look for it and they found the poor thing about 30 feet down a big hole.  The cow was killed by the fall.  But, they discovered the caverns at that time and the owner started exploring it.

There is a primitive campground on the property and while on the tour the guide explained that the campground was actually right above the part of the cavern we were standing in! 

Here are some pictures:
