Let Us Arrange Your Cave Adventure

“Pictures can’t even do justice to the amazing caverns. Macie was our guide and she did an amazing job of giving the history of the caverns. She answered all questions everyone asked. Most importantly, we had a very diverse group. It was a pretty good size group and she gave everyone time to look, take pictures, and move around in areas where space permitted. We were able to really enjoy the entire tour! Thank you, Macie!!!”

A waterfall and a cave.  Then you can go inside the cave and find another waterfall. All a short twenty minutes from Liberty Oak Oasis. 

Lost Creek State Natural Area is a diverse area situated on the western flank of the Cumberland Plateau. Its scenic highlight is the beautiful Lost Creek Falls in White County. Lost Creek Falls is geologically similar to its nearby cousin, Virgin Falls, in that the creek emerges from large spring, or collapsed cave on top, drops over the 40’ falls, and disappears underground again. On the opposite side of this large sink is the spectacular entrance to Lost Creek Cave. Because these Falls and Cave open into this large sink, or bowl, with no surface drainage, cold air is trapped in the hottest and most humid times of summer, essentially wicking the water from the humid air and coating the rocks and vegetation in the bottom of the bowl with moisture. This increased moisture helps to stimulate rich ferns, flowers, and liverworts in the bottom of the sink in the late Spring and Summer. The beauty of this area attracted the Walt Disney Corporation in 1994 to film several scenes from the “Jungle Book” at the area, utilizing both the beautiful Falls and the Cave entrance.

Lost Creek Cave is one of the larger caves in Tennessee, with five entrances (including the large one in the sink), and seven miles of mapped passages. 

The Caverns offers daily cave tours that include one of the largest underground rooms in the world at over 3 football fields long and a behind-the-scenes tour of the music venue. Walking tours of these otherworldly caves entwine the unique history of Grundy County, the geology of cave science, and the mythology of cave lore. Tours include walking on The Caverns world-famous stage for a photo op. For thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies, take an Adventure Cave Tour to explore deep portions of the Caverns few have ever seen before.

The Caverns are a short 68 miles from Liberty Oak Oasis. An easy mornings drive to see a fascinating part of Eastern TN.  Not something you will see in the Smokies. 

Worth the trip and only 90 miles from Liberty Oak Oasis is an amazing feature of Eastern Tennessee. An underground lake in a cave! 

Your Lost Sea adventure begins with a guided tour of the caverns. This involves a ¾ mile round-trip walk on wide sloping pathways. While touring the caverns and underground lake our guides will tell of the cavern’s exciting and colorful history. They will also explain the fascinating geological development of the immense cavern rooms and rare formations. At the bottom of the cave you will take a boat ride on The Lost Sea, America’s Largest Underground Lake.
