Warsaw Caves

The caves have long passages and mostly small open areas which are accessible to spelunkers.

[3] The Indian River, which flows through the area, disappears beneath the ground as it falls into underground channels caused by the collapsed limestone layers around the caves.

[4] The limestone layers are a result of glacial melting at the end of the last ice age, about 12,000 years ago.

[5] The area around the caves has several popular hiking trails, totaling more than 15 km in length.

The initial purchase of property to establish the park was made in 1962 and it was opened to the public in 1964.
