Tytoona Cave, Limestone cave in Sinking Valley, Blair County, US.
The entrance to Tytoona Cave opens into a 40-foot-wide and 12-foot-high passage within a sinkhole containing a flowing underground stream.
The cave first appeared in written records in 1788 when The Columbian Magazine published details about its entrance and internal characteristics.
Local narratives from the 1750s tell of Bedford Rangers pursuing Native Americans into the cave system, where they reportedly disappeared without a trace.
Visitors can access the initial 1,000 feet of the cave between 6 AM and 9 PM, requiring sturdy water-resistant footwear and multiple light sources.
The underground stream flowing through Tytoona Cave resurfaces more than a mile away at Arch Spring, forming a natural water system.
