While staying in Cooperstown, NY, we saw that there was a cave less than an hour away, so we decided to visit it.  We were a bit dismayed to see that it has very few formations and they aren’t that spectacular.  The cavern still has a river running through it and for much of its history the river was the major feature, which inhibited the growth of stalactites and stalagmites.

The tour of the cavern included a boat ride through part of the cave that still has water a few feet deep; while interesting there were NO formations to be seen while in the boat.

The best feature was an area called “The Winding Way” which indeed did wind around quite a bit in a narrow passageway, in some areas so narrow you had to turn sideways to get your shoulders through it.  Luckily for me (claustrophic!) it had a high ceiling so I was ok.

Here are pictures we took of the cavern:
