Cavernicole Cave, Show cave in Saint-Leonard, Montreal, Canada.
The Saint-Leonard Cave extends beneath Pie-XII Park with a primary passage measuring 35 meters in length and reaching depths of 8 meters.
Local farmers discovered the cave in 1812, leading to its first documented mention in the newspaper Le Spectateur during 1815.
The cave functioned as a storage facility and refuge for Les Patriotes members during the rebellion of 1837 in Lower Canada.
Guided tours operate from May to August, requiring advance reservations and providing essential equipment such as helmets and lighting for visitors.
A second section of the cave, measuring 250 meters in length, was discovered in 2017 through continued exploration efforts.
