Welcome to the Warsaw Caves! Take a beautiful hike through our trails and enjoy the amazing caves!!
The caves are cavities in the limestone rock which underlies the whole area. The Indian River, which flows through the area, disappears beneath the ground as it falls into underground channels caused by the collapsed limestone layers around the caves.
The limestone layers are a result of glacial melting at the end of the last ice age, about 12,000 years ago. Fast flowing water has worn passages and kettles in the soft limestone, but once the ice was gone the flow lessened, and the ground gradually rose when relieved of the weight of the ice. Because of this the upper caves are no longer submerged.
The area around the caves has several popular hiking trails, totaling more than 15 km in length.
This Geocache has been placed as part of our 60th Anniversary celebration!
