Secret Caverns, Cave system and tourist attraction in Cobleskill, United States
Secret Caverns is an underground cave system with limestone formations near Cobleskill in the United States. The network leads visitors through narrow passages to a waterfall cascading down within the depths below.
The cave was discovered in 1928 when livestock fell into a deep hole, prompting local exploration of the underground passages. This led to its development as a tourist destination in the following decades.
The site carries connections to the region's art scene through colorful roadside artwork created by local painters. These designs shape the visual character of the surrounding area and give the location an artistic identity.
Access to the cave is through a visitor center at the entrance that provides orientation and information. Visitors should prepare for cool, damp conditions and wear sturdy footwear, as passages have uneven surfaces.
