Bridal Cave, Show cave at Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, US.
The limestone formations within Bridal Cave extend for one mile, with a quarter of the cavern system open for guided public tours.
The first five rooms of Bridal Cave opened to visitors on October 16, 1948, after expanding the original entrance that measured only 3 feet by 1.5 feet.
The cave name originates from a 1933 story about an Osage Native American wedding between Buffalo and Irona, documented in Indian Romances by R.G. Scott.
The cave maintains a constant temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year and offers both boat and land access with dedicated parking facilities.
Mystery Lake, an underground water body 18 feet deep within the cave, contains ancient wooden structures that scientists cannot accurately date due to deterioration.
