Charles Town Cave, Limestone cave in Charles Town, West Virginia, United States.
The underground cave system extends beneath Liberty Street, featuring a substantial lake with a diameter of 25 feet at its deepest point.
Workers uncovered this subterranean formation in 1906 while constructing building foundations, leading to immediate local interest and exploration activities.
During the late 1920s, the cave became Lakeland Caverns, offering boat tours, an underground restaurant, and a ballroom for community gatherings.
All entrances to the cave remain sealed due to safety concerns and water contamination detected through testing conducted in 1997.
The cave network stretches beneath the current Old Opera House building, with passages reaching approximately 175 feet in length.
