Caves Of Ontario
I have created this site for cavers to share in the natural wonders of Ontario, Canada. To create a database
of cave images and descriptions. To have a forum to share our passion for what lies under our feet. A community porthole of a sort. |

Thanks to all the other cavers and property owners who have contributed images and information on local Ontario caves.

Mystery shaft in the middle of nowhere. Myself, Mick and GW recently explored this 16.5 foot deep shaft in Southwestern Ontario. Various large sinkholes and loads of bedrock elevation hint at the possibility of large caves beneath our feet. Unfortunately the shaft is choked with debris, a possible dig for a future date. |

This picture was sent to me by Marc-Andre Dorval of Speleo Club Nibelungen. The club is in the process of digging this sump in Lafleche Cave in Quebec Canada. Currently they have removed debris to three meters below the water level with the hopes of finding virgin passage. The divers name is Donald. Glad to see I am not the only person crazy enough to spend the weekend digging for virgin tunnel. |
First Time Cavers If your looking to explore your first Ontario cave, then look no further than one of the many tourist cave's open for public tour's. Its great if your a first time caver, or if your just looking to get the family out for the afternoon. Bonnechere Caves in Eganville Ontario provides nice solution formed passages, and in a controlled atmosphere safe for the whole family. Scenic Caves in Collingwood Ontario is another spot good for adventurous people of every age. Please view the following link for a list of commercial caves in Ontario. Commercial Caves Of Ontario. |
