Petty John's Cave, Limestone cave in Walker County, Georgia.
The underground network of Pettyjohn's Cave extends 31,490 feet through Pigeon Mountain, featuring numerous chambers connected by narrow passages and tunnels.
The Georgia Speleological Survey ranks Pettyjohn's Cave as the 119th longest among 242 documented caves in the United States, with a depth of 235 feet.
The cave system serves as a research site for geologists and biologists studying the formation of stalagmites, stalactites, and the habitat of tricolored bats.
Visitors access the cave through a designated path from the gravel parking area on Rocky Lane, requiring crawling equipment for narrow sections like the Worm Tube.
The Bridge Room allows explorers to sit at the edge of an 80-foot drop while listening to the underground stream flowing through the limestone formations.
