Top Ten U.S. Caves

Who Needs Niagara Falls: Niagara Cave, Minnesota
The underground version
Yours 'til Niagara falls (Niagara Falls)

Niagara Cave, one of the Midwest's largest limestone caverns, offers such notable underground sights as Paul Bunyan's Bed, a wishing well, an echo chamber, and the Wedding Chapel—over 300 ceremonies have been performed in the latter. At the cavern's lowest level, the Stalactite Room holds a rainbow of rock formations in a massive chamber.

Carved out by underground streams, Niagara Cave's ceiling reaches over a hundred feet high, with deep canyons and gorges below. Many of these streams are still active today, one of which tumbles for 60 feet—the cave's namesake waterfall.
