Linville Caverns
Linville
Caverns is another Blue Ridge Mountain
attraction that many people in the area like to
check out. North Carolina’s first and only
caverns were first discovered by local fisherman
in the early part of the 19th century and in
1939 the commercial tours began at the caverns
to display their unique geology and biology and
show visitors a fascinating glimpse at what an
underground cave is truly like.
Created by the natural spring at the mountain,
carbon dioxide and mineral deposits, the caverns
were created by the dissolving limestone and
dolomite, which cut passages through the
mountain rock. The caverns are still actively
changing and forming so you will see a
spectacular display of color.
 When you take a tour of the inside of the
gorgeous caverns you’ll be educated about the
different geological aspects of the cave as well
as the animal life inside the cave. Researchers
have noted the presence of the Eastern
Pipistrelle Bats as well as the native fish that
reside in the caverns flowing stream water. In
fact, it is widely known that the fish living
inside the cave are blind as no natural light
ever passes through the caverns and they are
generally accustomed to being in the dark.
During your walk-through tour of Linville
Caverns NC you’ll also be able to stand over the
“bottomless pool”, and learn about the
researchers that once tried to reach the bottom
of the pool, and never did, hence how it got its
name.
Linville Caverns NC is just one of the many
beautiful, and natural attractions you’ll find
in the High Country. Places like
Grandfather Mountain, the Blowing Rock and
Linville Caverns are truly phenomenal places to
visit and a must see for anyone who is lucky
enough to call the Blue Ridge Mountains home.
