Spider Cave, Archaeological site in Garden Peninsula, Michigan, US.
Spider Cave stretches 90 feet in length and 30 feet in depth, featuring limestone walls and two supporting pillars at its entrance.
The cave contains four distinct pictographs created with mineral dyes and was first inhabited by humans around 1200 BC according to archaeological evidence.
The Noquet people occupied this region before European settlement, leaving behind projectile points and artifacts that indicate their presence in the Middle Woodland period.
Access to Spider Cave requires prior authorization as the site remains closed to protect its archaeological integrity within Fayette Historic State Park.
The most notable pictograph displays a human figure connected to a spider through a spiral cord, painted on the limestone walls.
