Explore the caves in Clarksville, NY

Clarksville Cave is a popular horizontal cave in Albany County, NY. With about 4800 feet of passage and three entrances, Clarksville is surely the best-known and most-visited wild cave in the Northeast. The rock is limestone and there are a few large caverns connected by large, often wet, tunnels with water underfoot, partially filled on either side of the stream with loose rocks and banks of earth. 

Pre-requisite: must be comfortable in dark, tight passages. If you are claustrophobic, this trip is not for you.

Bagged lunches and dinner at a restaurant are included in the cost.
