Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park, Cave system in Regional District of Nanaimo, Canada

The Horne Lake Caves Provincial Park contains multiple limestone caves with ancient calcite formations, crystal structures, and underground waterfalls across 158 hectares.

First documented in a geological report from 1912, the caves became a provincial park in 1971 to protect the natural formations from increasing tourist activities.

The education center inside the park features Canada's only Cave Theatre, geological displays, and museum exhibits dedicated to understanding cave formations.

Visitors can select from five different guided tours, ranging from beginner-friendly Riverbend Cave exploration to advanced vertical climbing experiences in deeper caverns.

The park includes Canada's only natural cave slide, allowing adventurers to experience an underground descent through ancient limestone formations.
