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. As well it will help provide information to people who have a desire to learn more about caves, a database of clubs and cave related links. A connection for people who are interested in caving, or an amateur photographer with some interesting pictures to share. I have listed the caves by geographical region. No locations are given due to respect for the land owners, as well as for the protection of the caves. I am always looking for new caves, sinkholes, crevices and bedrock outcrops to explore. Please feel free to contact me if you have an area or spot that you think would be of interest to me.

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. If your looking for caves in their more natural state, then look no further than the Toronto Caving Club. They offer numerous beginners trips thru out the year to some small caves along the Niagara Escarpment. Its a good way to get your feet wet, and meet some good people. You will also make connections in the caving community, and gain the trust of your fellow cavers.
